"Here's 6kLoC, now go reinvent Smalltalk."

An example LÖVE repo that can be used to modify its own sources.

Editor: a lightly forked version of lines.love

Debugger: a graphical log of what the program did, as demonstrated here.

These tools aren't general-purpose. Instead, they're intended to evolve with the sole app they're used to modify: themselves.

Today I went through and gave every fork of lines.love the ability to modify and debug its own source code. Just press ctrl+e to edit the sources.

It's kinda funny to add a code editor to a text editor. The code editor can hide debug prints, and has a teeny bit of colorization. On the other hand it doesn't (yet) support drawings or selecting text.
