Could you build this?

Partial The browser UI, physics, and matchmaking are prototypeable, but smooth real-time multiplayer with low latency, anti-cheat, and ranked play at scale needs serious networking infrastructure.

What it would actually take: Build the client in a browser game engine like Phaser, Babylon, or PlayCanvas, with a deterministic physics simulation. Use an authoritative WebSocket or WebRTC game server with server reconciliation for latency, plus matchmaking, ranking, and anti-cheat services. The hard parts are netcode quality, tuning the physics feel, and scaling real-time servers, which call for a networking engineer and load-testing resources.
