Description

This sample is a step-by-step tutorial which walks you through fundamental concepts of Quartz Composer: the coordinate system; animation (interpolation); and iteration. It starts with a single image, and finishes with ten sprites which bounce across the screen independently along with their reflections. When inside the Quartz Composer editor, be sure to open the Inspector panel and read the Notes field for each patch.
