Game skin

From TeeWiki

A game skin (also known as game.png) is an image which contains the data for several items in the game. Any modifications made to this file will also show in game, allowing you to modify the look of weapons, crosshairs, projectiles, muzzles, flags, hearts, armor and damage related graphics. The file itself is split up into 32x32 px squares by Teeworlds - which means that it's a good idea to use a grid of that size to edit the picture.

The standard game.png included with Teeworlds 0.4.3.
