Could you build this?
Partial The front-end Electron app, UI canvas editing, and MCP bridge are standard, but the real-time live preview hooks, hot-reloading bridge into an undocumented/proprietary TapTap Maker game runtime, and safe hooking mechanisms require deep reverse-engineering.
What it would actually take: A complete implementation requires an Electron shell hosting a Monaco editor alongside a custom canvas UI editor. The difficult core is reverse-engineering the TapTap Maker runtime/CLI protocol to establish a two-way IPC bridge over local sockets for live visual AST patching and state reflection without crashing the runtime. Deep familiarity with Cocos/Lua engine internals and binary/runtime inspection is needed.
