Example program for trying out [driver.love](https://git.sr.ht/~akkartik/driver.love),
a programming environment for modifying programs live, without restarting
them.
This repo is an example of a [Freewheeling App](http://akkartik.name/freewheeling),
designed above all to be easy to run, easy to modify and easy to share.
## Getting started
Install [LÖVE](https://love2d.org). It's just a 5MB download, open-source and
extremely well-behaved.
[Run the app using LÖVE.](https://love2d.org/wiki/Getting_Started#Running_Games)
## Hacking
To modify it live without restarting the app each time, download [the driver
app](https://git.sr.ht/~akkartik/driver.love).

If the app being modified by the driver lives in a .love file, your changes
will go into the [save directory](https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem.getSaveDirectory).
If it lives in a directory (like this repo), your changes will go straight
into the same directory.
## Keyboard shortcuts
Press `f4` to evaluate a program.
Within each editor panel:
* `ctrl+f` to find patterns within a file
* `ctrl+c` to copy, `ctrl+x` to cut, `ctrl+v` to paste
* `ctrl+z` to undo, `ctrl+y` to redo
