You'd have to serious processing power, a great programmer (like the entire Microslop () corporation. Maybe Linus Torvaldes.), and video feedback or something equally hard to be able to do this. Nothing is stopping you if you really want to go out and do that.

It would be exremely hard, although if anyone could do it successfully, it would be awesome.
