### MoveMe ###
 
================================================================================
DESCRIPTION:
 
This application illustrates simple drawing, touch handling, and animation using UIKit and Core Animation.
 
The main class of interest is MoveMeView.  An instance of MoveMeView is created in the MainWindow nib file as a subview of the window.  MoveMeView creates an instance of PlacardView which displays text superimposed over an image, and adds the placard view as a subview of itself.
If you touch inside the placard, the placard is animated in two ways: its transform is changed such that it appears to pulse, and it is moved such that its center is directly under the touch.
If you move your finger, MoveMeView moves the placard so that it remains centered under the touch. When the touch ends, the placard is animated back to the center of the screen, and its original (identity) transform restored.
 
The UIView methods implemented by MoveMeView that relate to touch handling are:
 
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
- (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
- (void)touchesCancelled:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
 
These in turn invoke other methods to perform the animation.  The sample illustrates two forms of animation:
 
- (void)animateFirstTouchAtPoint:(CGPoint)touchPoint shows you how to use UIView's built-in animation with a delegate.  Two slightly different implementations are provided to illustrate different animation behaviors.
 
- (void)animatePlacardViewToCenter shows how to implement explicit animation using CAKeyframeAnimation.
 
Further details are given in comments in the code.
