Magic The Gathering - Life Counter

This app is a 2-player, customizable lifecounter for Magic the Gathering Players should be seated in front of each other, since the layout contains identical controls mirror-flipped for both players.

An additional poison-counter can be (de)activated. Each player can choose the background-color of the individual side, which can be customized individually (default mtg-colors are preset).

By holding the button to select black background color, the energy-saving mode for AMOLED-displays can be enabled / disabled.

Customization

Using the settings-button, color options are toggled visible / invisible. Each player can choose their background color.

The default colors are matched to the original five colors black, blue, green, red and white.
By holding the settings-button pressed, an options menu is popping up, where each of the colors can be customized.

Also, the player can choose

• how much lifepoints will be used as default
• how much points will be added / substracted by holding the plus / minus buttons pressed

All settings are saved using androids SharedPreferences.
