#Hot Reload

make dev enables live code reloading for all files in game_logic/. Edit any .cs file, save, and the changes take effect immediately — no restart required.

#How It Works

The engine splits C# into three assemblies:

A FileSystemWatcher monitors game_logic/ for .cs changes. On save:

1. All .cs files in game_logic/ are auto-discovered and recompiled into a new GameLogic.dll
2. The new assembly is loaded via reflection
3. The world is fully reset — all entities are despawned (with native renderer cleanup), component stores and systems are cleared, and all 8 light slots are cleared
4. Game.Setup(world) is re-invoked from the new assembly, rebuilding the entire scene

This means any game logic change takes effect immediately:

• New or removed entities in Game.cs
• Changed light types or positions
• Updated constants in GameConstants.cs
• Modified system logic in systems/*.cs
• Re-ordered system registration

#Usage

make dev

Then edit any file in game_logic/ and save. The console will show:

[HotReload] Recompiling v1...
[HotReload] OK v1 - Scene re-initialized

#Limitations

• Only game_logic/ files are hot-reloadable. Engine changes in managed/ require a restart.
• Old assemblies leak memory (Mono cannot unload assemblies). Restart after many reloads.
• Static fields in systems/*.cs and GameConstants.cs values reset on each reload.
• make run and make app are unaffected — they compile everything into a single Viewer.exe with no hot reload code.
