It's interesting how to use this UUID extension? there is an example?

This extension is giving two expressions that you can use in games :) @arthuro555: there are typos/bad punctuation in the description, double check that ;) Try something like grammarly.com to find these easily. Otherwise looks ok, though I wonder if we really need to expose the increasing counter "UID" - it sounds complicated for a variable doing +1 at each call. Might be better to leave the users do that by themselves?

Ah, sorry for that, I'll check.

Personally, I find it easier to have just one expression for doing that and is something used by GDevelop users currently quite often when generating IDs (though it makes the extension name a misnomer as it is a Unique ID not a Universally Unique ID).

UUID.zip Ok, what about now? I think I checked everything.

Needs a skilled humain for spot typos, however lgtm.

Grammarly says everything is ok, so if everything is fine I'll go ahead and merge.
