Support change detection and hot reloading #3450

I am developing a game in RPG Maker 2003. It would be useful if there were a developer mode in the EasyRPG Player that would make it watch the game/project's folder for changes and reload the changed files while the game is running, if possible.

For example, reloading an art asset (e.g. chipset, picture, character sprite sheet, etc.) if it is altered while the game is running. It would also be useful if events could be altered while the game is running. Many of the events I write use a state machine pattern, so they can be killed and re-run from the top without negatively impacting gameplay or leaving the game in a bad state.

If someone could advise me on if this would be possible, or even point me in the right direction, I'd be happy to look into adding features like this myself.
