Description

  • Standalone version, single .exe file, both for Prowl editor and for the .exe game build created. This makes it very portable. When creating the .exe, options like zstandard compression and other modern high-performance ones are available; .zip and .7z are slow, but some like it. I dont like that these apps created with .net sdk, they leave a swarm of files/folders, so a single .exe file could be very interesting, at least for the game build.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the Prowl editor and the .exe game build are produced with the .NET SDK. Check the available publishing options for single-file output and compression, then verify that both targets produce portable standalone executables without the current extra files and folders.
