- Java Swing and Java AWT
JPaint is a bare-bones minimalistic pixel art software designed to provide the user with a robust, stable, and extremely simple environment. This is to allow users to only focus on one goal in mind, just make pixel art! Due to the simple nature of this program, animations are not included as that is incredibly complex to implement. However, JPaint will allow you to create, and export your pixel art in either .png or .jpg file formats as those are the most popular. JPaint wants to make sure the user has what it needs, from a near infinite amount of colors to make and choose, to a grid that they can resize to anything they want (please bear in mind the bigger you make it the more power it uses obviously). Since this was created with Java and the Java UI Libraries, this can work with MAC-OS, and Windows 8+, this has NOT been tested with popular Linux distros such as Ubuntu but due to the "write once run everywhere" nature or Java, it should work, right?
As mentioned before, this project is "bare-bones" but what does that mean? Well in the plain terms, this is not some top tier corporate software with hundreds of features, it's supposed to give the artist what they need, a grid they can resize, and any color they want, with (hopefully) the ability to export to .png and .jpg file formats in a future update.
- Make sure Java is installed, on MAC OS, run java --version, on Windows 8+, please run java -version in your console
- Within your terminal on MAC OS, find the directory that you installed the JAR file into to, and within terminal, please run java -jar JPaint.jar within that directory. On Windows there are MANY methods similar to MAC OS. Please choose a JAR runner of your own.
- Latest JDK and JRE is recommended but any JDK or JRE should work from 2016 and onward.
