Description

It would be nice if we provided functionality usable from a build script to set an icon in the executable.

This will be a bit annoying since we'll need to figure out how to support multiple platforms.

If you're interested in helping with the Linux and Windows implementation, do let me know!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Research how to embed custom icons in Rust executables on Linux and Windows. Look into using ico files on Windows and libpng or similar on Linux. Explore existing crates like 'icon' or 'image' for embedding. Check how other Rust game frameworks handle icons.
