AI assistant enables live-editing of running game code

A developer has demonstrated a novel method for live-editing a running game called Stellar Drift using Anthropic's Claude Code assistant. This approach allows for real-time modifications to game state and code without restarting the virtual machine, enabling rapid iteration on game mechanics and visuals. The system leverages a custom jdBasic interpreter that supports pausing execution at safe opcodes, recompiling functions on the fly, and resuming, all managed through an MCP client interface. AI

IMPACT Enables rapid iteration and debugging for game developers by allowing live code modification without game restarts.
