Tutorial

Includes an in-game tutorial to familiarize the player with controls and any game specific functionality.

UVL goals for December 2025 (2025-12-06)

In the past few weeks I had to prioritize server management tasks, which are quite time-consuming and... boring. But it is something that needs to be done to keep the server running.

So in my remaining free time, I preferred to watch a movie or play a game.
This month my goals are to work on what I had planned to do last month!

-edit-
Also have to remove zero-width space character from data www.uvlist.net/forum/thread/298633
September update (2025-09-01)

Trying to edit a game just after another editor is now blocked. Before it was just advised to not do it.

Adding images
- When adding an image, the last image type is set by default. Should save some clicks.
- Improvements in image size/type storage
- In case of very small images like with the Pokemon Mini, the images are now enlarged x3 or x4 depending on the original size.
