Environment for learning programming using Mu: http://akkartik.name/post/mu

Run it from the `mu` directory:
2015-09-06 23:52:48 +00:00
```shell
$ ./mu edit
```
This will load all the `.mu` files in this directory and then run the editor.
Press ctrl-c to quit. Press F4 to save your work (if a lesson/ directory
exists) and to run the contents of the sandbox editor on the right.
You can also run the tests for the environment:
```shell
$ ./mu test edit
```

You can also load the files more explicitly by enumerating them all (in order):
2015-09-06 23:52:48 +00:00
```shell
$ ./mu edit/*.mu
```

This is handy if you want to play with simpler versions of the editor that are
easier to understand. Stop loading at any layer to run with a subset of
features:
2015-09-06 23:52:48 +00:00
```shell
2017-12-31 04:52:43 +00:00
$ ./mu edit/001*.mu edit/002*.mu # run a simple editor rather than the full environment
2015-09-06 23:52:48 +00:00
```
