Video Notes:

NppExec Custom Script
use raylib_compile_execute as a base
copy into "temporary_script"
modify the last $(CC) line to directly list each of the required .c files
use SET PROJECT_NAME at the top to set an executable name, replace NAME_PART references in last CC line and at the execute program step
note that using this project name distinction, we can compile the program from focusing any tab

"raylib_custom_makefile" script
ENV_SET PROJECT_NAME=my_project
ENV_SET RAYLIB_PATH=C:\raylib\raylib
ENV_SET CC=gcc

ENV_SET PATH=C:\raylib\w64devkit\bin
cd $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)

make

cmd /c IF EXIST %PROJECT_NAME%.exe %PROJECT_NAME%.exe
