This is not the final nor the current version of the app, some stuff may change during the development. The following screenshots are designs that were painted and were not still scripted

Description

Creating games are not simple. Creating games for Java even less. Creating games for Java in Java phones, ugh... Even worse.
Not only the platform limitations, but the lack of good tools for this kind of activity makes stuff even harder.
¿But why on Java phones, why don't they just create their games from a PC? Economy is a thing, and not everyone has the opportunity to get the best tools for them especially in third-world countries. There's still people that has only Java phones and are willing to create games using only what they have. Thinking in this, i'm planning some tools to make it easier.
Besides scripting, creating sprites are one of the biggest problem when we're talking about game development from a Java device. The best tool available is PaintCAD, wich is still pretty bad for this.

PixelyVulpine Sprite Creator is a application for J2ME game developers. It's a pixel-art tool for creating sprites in tiles and automatically merge them in a spritesheet. It has to be optimized for numpads and stylus touchscreen aswell and should be good to use even in Android devices via J2ME Loader.

Commentary: I plan to make it look a lot like a Android or a KaiOS application and userfriend as possible, so before making this application, i need first to implement my UI library for making everything easier for me to do some stuff. It's begin delayed because of university. Currently, this project is looking like this:
