Star Wars

The Star Wars logo is a UIImageView subview in a big black View superview that fills the screen. We saw an UIImageView in Puzzle, and a stretching/shrinking animation in exercise 8 of Animate.

Create the project

I got the sound from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucvlJxDyKAA, and converted it to an mp3 file with http://www.youtube-mp3.org/.

For background music and landscape orientation, see Gone. Make sure the Mac’s sound is on before you run the project.
