DoubleHelix Save

About

Double Helix is a live wallpaper and daydream for Android created by Cypher Cove. It is built using the libGDX framework.

All files in this project are Copyright 2015-2020 Cypher Cove LLC. If you have questions about this project, you may contact me through the email link at the Google Play storefront.

Double Helix demonstrates the use of my CoveTools library for developing a live wallpaper with libGDX while testing it rapidly on a the desktop. It also demonstrates a strategy for using Android Preferences to modify live wallpaper settings and uses my CovePrefs library for the color picker preference.
