I wrote this for my girlfriend to practice her upcoming Pecha Kucha presentation with.

It is one of the ghetto-est J2ME apps I’ve come across. Since J2ME doesn’t have a font as large as I wanted for the numbers to display, I made each number into a PNG using MS Paint. :) They’re even offset sometimes to keep your attention.

It also disables screensavers or the phone’s backlight from turning off so it can be used a constant timer. Just counts down from 20 to 1 over and over and over (20 seconds being the length of a Pecha Kucha slide).
