+### Enable Logging
+To have the script log to ```compile.txt``` in the maps directory, set the ```$Logs``` param to ```$True```:
+```powershell
+.\compile.ps1 -Logs $True
+```
+Or update the default Parameter on line 4 to ```$True```

+### Performance Note
+When logging is enabled, although the files compile just as fast, the script takes longer to finish as it writes the file. All you need to know is that as soon as the red text starts rushing past, all the files have finished compiling.
