A screen is a single layer that has update and draw logic, and which can be combined with other layers to build up a complex menu system. For instance the main menu, the options menu, the "are you sure you want to quit" message box, and the main game itself are all implemented as screens.
This public class is similar to one in the GameStateManagement sample.
