I did create an events system for liko12, making my work more modular.
Below there is a modified love.run function which implements 4 things:
- Instead of calling love callbacks, it triggers the events with name "love:callback", for ex: "love:mousepressed".
- It contains a small and a nice trick which reloads all the code files (expect main.lua & conf.lua) and reboots liko12 without haveing to restart love.
- When the love.graphics is active (usable) it triggers "love:graphics" event.
- If any "love:quit" event returned true, the quit will be canceled.

About the soft restart:
* To do a soft restart trigger the "love:reboot" event.
* This works by clearing package.loaded expect bit library, then calling love.graphics.reset(), and reseting the events library, and finally restarts love.run from the top (there's an extra while loop you can see).
* In case you changed something in main.lua or conf.lua then you can do a hard restart by calling love.event.quit("restart")
* In DiskOS you can run 'reboot' command to do a soft reboot, or 'reboot hard' to do a hard one (by restarting love).

I don't think anyone would want to edit anything in this file.
