Could you build this?
Partial A web UI with Monaco editor is simple, but running the Löve2D Lua game engine in the browser requires a WebAssembly/Emscripten port of the C++ engine, SDL audio/input handling, and virtual filesystem synchronization.
What it would actually take: To build this, one must compile the Löve2D C++ codebase to WebAssembly using Emscripten (love.js), mapping SDL2 graphics, Web Audio, and WebGL contexts into the browser runtime. The web IDE frontend (React, Monaco Editor) must maintain a virtual in-memory filesystem (MEMFS/IDBFS) and seamlessly bundle and reload Lua scripts into the WASM instance with low-latency hot reloading.
