I would argue that most devs would love this feature. I typically look away while I'm compiling, then come back and wonder if I had compiled yet. Or, did I remember to Update first? Then I have to compile again.

For users that need 5+ minutes to compile due to slow computers, this would be a godsend for convenient, efficient testing of code.

A nice alternative (or better yet - an addition) would be to print the system time when the compile is completed.
Heres what we need:

Time stamps on the build log panel, so we know if we actually remembered to hit compile before going to go get that coffee.

Flashing of the taskbar when a compile job is done.

Flashing of the taskbar when dd finishes starting a world.

A sound for both of those last two things

Options to disable them for production environments.


At the moment, compiling ss13 on the avg system takes 3 to 5 minutes. and launching the gameworld in DD takes another 2 minutes.

On my computer, with a super fast processor, 16gb of fast gaming ram, and a 750SSD, this isn't as bad, but most of the coders complain about this.

I supposed. I'm assuming the world you guys compile is always a DEBUG environment.

Try

#ifdef DEBUG
#undef DEBUG
#endif
