Hi Dick, To my knowledge, Quartz Compositions don't currently run on iPhone. There are many like me who look forward to this day.
Quartz Composer is certainly a useful tool for prototyping — check out the new Interaction patch for making buttons and draggable objects. For testing out any accelerometer-based interactions, you might consider the free Mrmr app for iPhone which transmits OSC to the desktop machine. It's a little fiddly to setup, but works. My suggestions would be: 1. Draw some storyboards (on paper/etc) that show the screens and the experience the user will have with your app 2. Mockup the interface for the what you want to see in Photoshop. Even after your description I have *no* idea what it would look like. 3. Anything unusual/ accelerometer-driven/motion/graphically far-out you may want to mock up in Quartz composer to see if it works in real-time 4. Develop it on iPhone Any QC questions will usually get fast and helpful answers on this list. Do a lot of searching on the App store before though — with 100,000+ apps, someone may have already done something similar meaning you can learn from them, or cancel the project. If you have odd multitouch ideas in mind, there is a patch available to allow MBP multitouch input into QC.
