I completely forgot that I entered a coding contest using QC.

The basic idea was that after launch, the app would use the NSWorkspace API to catch subsequent apps launching and fullscreen your Mac with an animation of the new app playing a guitar on stage, meanwhile the other apps already running had their icons in the crowd, dancing. The more apps you had launched, the rowdier the audience would get.
I used QC to create the animations with the placeholders for app icons and names, and then some variables related to crowd intensity. Then, at runtime, the app could plug in results from the NSWorkspace API to fill out those graphics and dial in the crowd response level.
