9 sourcesAlready an example game in LambdaNative: https://github.com/part-cw/lambdanative/blob/master/apps/uSq.... Compile it and run it, or get it from the App stores
In Lisp Game Jam 2018You can add a TCP based REPL to any LambdaNative app by inclusion of a single module. This allows you to connect through emacs and run/alter code on the live system, potentially directly on the mobile device (although it would make more sense to do this sort of iterative development on a build for the localhost). The setup is described here:
https://github.com/part-cw/lambdanative/wiki/Using-Emacs
In LambdaNativeI have zero native development experience on any mobile platform and write apps abstracted away in Scheme https://github.com/part-cw/lambdanative/wiki/Getting-Started
After you write/run a lot of tests to make sure the app does what it's supposed to (there's paid services for this kind of testing too) http://googletesting.blogspot.ca/2013/08/how-google-team-tes...
This React abstraction can use Chrome Developer Tools for debugging though, that's pretty awesome.
In React Native for Androidhttps://github.com/part-cw/lambdanative/wiki/Function-300 has containers. If you just want to change the button properties take a look at https://github.com/part-cw/lambdanative/wiki/Function-296 , you can even replace the texture on the fly (will have to find you an example).
