Watching `notch` live-code is also very popular. [1]: [LINK] Making Metagun [2]: [VIDEO] Making MiniCraft [3]: [LINK]
As I recall Minecraft's snowball started with geek dads watching Notch live coding and buying the game for their kids. [VIDEO]
If you watch some of Notch’s old game jam live streams; this is exactly how he used his Java environment and is probably why he was so invested in it. You can see some examples here when he just tests logic changes: [VIDEO] (Though, he restarts often since he’s editing preloaded assets also)
