Core Animation Kiosk Style Menus
================================
 
This sample implements the example application discussed in the Core Animation Programming Guide.
 
This sample implements the application discussed in the Core Animation Programming Guide. It is a demonstration of an interface that might be used in a kiosk application, or with a fullscreen application such as Front Row. 
 
The sample demonstrates how to layout CATextLayers, display a CALayer with a continuous pulsing animation, and how the hosting view is used to handle key events, with the layers responding.
 
There are two versions of the application included: QCCoreAnimationKioskStyleMenu, and CoreAnimationKioskStyleMenu. QCCoreAnimationKioskMenu displays the selection list on top of a continuously animating Quartz Composer animation. The second example displays the same list only using a sold black background. This allows the developer to measure the performance impact of background animations and perhaps tune their application for specific hardware.
