+// TODO(jbd): Refer to http://golang.org/doc/install/source
+// once Go 1.5 instructions are complete.
+
+// An app that demonstrates the sprite package.
+//
+// Note: This demo is an early preview of Go 1.5. In order to build this
+// program as an Android APK using the gomobile tool, you need to install
+// Go 1.5 from the source.
+//
+// Clone the source from the tip under $HOME/go directory. On Windows,
+// you may like to clone the repo to your user folder, %USERPROFILE%\go.
+//
+//   $ git clone https://go.googlesource.com/go $HOME/go
+//
+// Go 1.5 requires Go 1.4. Read more about this requirement at
+// http://golang.org/s/go15bootstrap.
+// Set GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP to the GOROOT of your existing 1.4 installation or
+// follow the steps below to checkout go1.4 from the source and build.
+//
+//   $ git clone https://go.googlesource.com/go $HOME/go1.4
+//   $ cd $HOME/go1.4
+//   $ git checkout go1.4.1
+//   $ cd src && ./make.bash
+//
+// If you clone Go 1.4 to a different destination, set GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP
+// environmental variable accordingly.
+//
+// Build Go 1.5 and add Go 1.5 bin to your path.
+//
+//   $ cd $HOME/go/src && ./make.bash
+//   $ export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/go/bin
+//
+// Set a GOPATH if no GOPATH is set, add $GOPATH/bin to your path.
+//
+//   $ export GOPATH=$HOME
+//   $ export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
+//
+// Get the gomobile tool and initialize.
+//
+//   $ go get golang.org/x/mobile/cmd/gomobile
+//   $ gomobile init
+//
+// It may take a while to initialize gomobile, please wait.
+//
+// Get the sprite example and use gomobile to build or install it on your device.
+//
+//   $ go get -d golang.org/x/mobile/example/sprite
+//   $ gomobile build golang.org/x/mobile/example/sprite # will build an APK
+//
+//   # plug your Android device to your computer or start an Android emulator.
+//   # if you have adb installed on your machine, use gomobile install to
+//   # build and deploy the APK to an Android target.
+//   $ gomobile install golang.org/x/mobile/example/sprite
+//
+// Switch to your device or emulator to start the Basic application from
+// the launcher.
+// You can also run the application on your desktop by running the command
+// below. (Note: It currently doesn't work on Windows.)
