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.
