The idea

hi love the project thanks for all the work
every update rebuilds the whole game from scratch on my pc
the last one compiled 600 files and took over an hour
i know about HOOKSHOT_KEEP_BUILD_FILES=1 but most players will never find that setting
could the builder keep the build files by default or add a checkbox for it
updates should only compile the changed files
thanks

Anything else

Thanks, agreed that most players won't find HOOKSHOT_KEEP_BUILD_FILES. Keeping the build files by default (or a checkbox) so updates only compile what changed is now listed in the feature requests collection #1007; closing this in favour of it.
