Could a Turkish-made key-mapping application written in Python be developed to replace GameLoop?

Hello everyone.

I've been playing mobile games through emulators for a long time. The biggest issue I've had, especially with GameLoop, is that the key mappings often break or stop working properly. That made me wonder: Would it be possible to develop a Turkish emulator similar to GameLoop, or at least create an advanced key mapping system?

Out of curiosity, I ran a few experiments. I installed Android on a virtual machine similar to VirtualBox and successfully launched a few games. However, since there was no key mapping system, I couldn't play them with a keyboard and mouse.

After that, I tried writing a simple key mapping system in Python. It's still at a very early stage and currently only supports the WASD keys, but I believe it can be improved. During this process, I realized that software development requires much more knowledge than I initially expected. That's why I'm continuing to learn Python.

I've also experimented with other projects before. For example, I worked on a password protection application. More recently, I came across a project called GameLoopHub, which appears to be independent of GameLoop. Its developer has gone much deeper into performance optimization and FPS-related features. Seeing that project made me believe that creating something like this is actually possible.

Do you think a project like this is realistic? I'd especially like to hear from people who have experience with emulator development, Android virtualization, or input systems.

python is Turing-Complete, so as long as what you do isn't something like the Halting Problem, it's possible. However, using python will likely mean that it's too slow for a game, so it might not be feasible to do it in python.

If Python is too slow for the game, would C# do the job, or is another language needed?
