A simply console interface for debugging? That's what I assumed.

debug.debug()

Ahh, very nice.

debug=function()
while true do
local s=io.stdin:read()
if s=="cont" then break end
local f,e=loadstring(s)
assert(f,e)
assert(pcall(f))
end
end

You're writing a server in LÖVE? That doesn't sound very efficient to me.

You should just write it in pure Lua. I know I've seen a Box2D library for Lua somewhere...
