📄 Description

With the recent split of the QT launcher and SDL CLI application. There has been a small increase in users confused that double clicking the application is not launching properly, or that it only spawns a command window.

This small patch attempts to address this by providing a small message box cross platform using SDL to inform the user that they should consider using QT Launcher if that was their intention.

This should only trigger when argc is 1 and therefore other SDL users provided the correct flags should not notice this popup.
