Carousel looks neat! I haven’t played around with Lua or LÖVE much, but this reminds me of Processing, except with more of a focus on creating useful mini-apps instead of visual art. It also reminds me SmileBASIC for the Nintendo 3DS.

What would distributing this for iOS look like? I guess it would be publishable on the App Store, since there are apps like Pythonista out there?

You can run LÖVE on iOS: https://www.love2d.org/wiki/Getting_Started#iOS

You "just" need XCode, and to recompile it once a year. Sigh, ugh.

I believe there are third parties distributing it on iOS as well. But then you need to trust an additional entity.

Gotcha, thanks! I'm not in the Apple Developer Program, but I'm tempted to do it just to be able to experiment with sideloading all sorts of LÖVE programs.

<3!
