Could you build this?
Partial While a wrapper that prompts an LLM to output HTML5 canvas code is simple, an automated system reliably compiling and debugging multi-asset playable games needs sandboxed execution and game engine orchestration.
What it would actually take: The system requires an LLM orchestrator connected to a WebAssembly/HTML5 sandbox runtime (like Phaser, PixiJS, or Godot Web export), an iterative compiler/linter that parses errors, and asset generation pipelines (sprites, audio). The hard part is maintaining a robust stateful self-healing loop that fixes syntax/runtime bugs and ensures gameplay balance automatically. This requires expertise in automated software verification, game engine architectures, and multi-step agentic workflows.
