20 Life is a simple application intended to replace the use of 20 sided dice () with a gesture based counting app. These dice are used by Magic The Gathering (trading card game) players to help keep track of "life" points (their score). The app allows two players to manage a single screen, split down the middle, by tapping and sliding.
I started on the white board by sorting ideas out into two lanes: user needs and design requirements. Discovering the user's needs and sorting them into categories of solutions helped define a clear direction for the app. I made a few quick sketches of potential UI elements and gestures to help me articulate the idea to potential users.
