Description

This is a very simple demo that creates a random image of a starry sky using several star images of different sizes that are placed randomly on the screen. The user can drag the stars to re-arrange them. This code was written to illustrate the functionallity of QuartzDebug. There is a slow and a fast version. The slow version is commented out by default. The slow version repaints the whole window every time a star is moved, and the fast version only re-paints the dirty region. You can use

QuartzDebug to see the different behavior between the two versions.
