Can I write UHS Hint Files?

  • Writing hint files for UHS is fun and rewarding!  If you love playing games and think you have the talent for writing hint files, I encourage you to consider being an authorized UHS author.

    Do not begin writing a file until you get permission from UHS, since a hint file for the game you have in mind may already be in progress by someone else.  Contact Jason Strautman (see the previous question for electronic mail addresses) for more info.  Make sure you obtain the most recent compiler for your system.
