I'm trying to wrap my head around why build a hook into lldb instead of writing a library that would allow your students to simply spawn an imgui window with the variables exposed in exactly the same way? This is generally a tool you would likely need to build into a game regardless for exactly the reason you mentioned, rebuilding to change gameplay variables isn't exactly a great experience. I personally just use a simple terminal that I can open and close to adjust variables but eith hoe easy imgui is I don't see any reason to not do a gui window for that.
