Understanding Animations
There are two key components to creating an event-driven game. The first is creating animations,
and the second is managing the game state. There are several ways to create animations in an iOS

In this section, we will review how that was done and show a similar example to flesh out your
understanding. At the end of this chapter, you will take a look at yet a third technique that explores
the backing classes used by the first two examples.

UIView
has static tasks designed to simplify the creation of basic animations. These same
