I’ve been wanting this, so my kid can make sprites and tiles much easier. At least, he now knows there is code to do this also.

👏👏👏

Now we just need to put it in the Arcade editor! (Like in the real one without having to go to a site!)

**SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION AHEAD**  
Also, I have added it to my Awesome Arcade Extensions [here](https://github.com/UnsignedArduino/Awesome-Arcade-Extensions#arcade-image-tools)!

I love this tool. It is really helpful with complex unsymmetrical sprites, so I only need to tweak some small things instead of starting it from scratch.

I found a glitch - if you draw an image that does not have the same height as the width (for example 5 by 10) and flip it, it changes the dimensions from 5 by 10 to 10 by 5 and erases part of your drawing.

Oops, I made a silly mistake 😄, thanks for pointing out, fixed and deployed.

Glad that you guys like it.
