That could present a nice UI, and could either handle events itself, or register event handlers with the image morph. If you need UI ideas I suggest you try my SqueakJS morph (which essintially is also a VM simulator): http://lively-web.org/users/bert/squeak.html It's a shame we never bothered to make the simulator this nice ;)

It would be great if someone were to take inspiration from Bert's SqueakJS
morph and do something similar for the traditional VM simulators.

Personally, it's inspiring me to want to learn about JS some day soon. That
lively VM is seriously impressive.
