Fun with accelerometers

Thanks for such a complete example.

Thank you very much for this!

Nice!

Very good example. Thanks!

Pineapple this is great. And how much lines does your way have: 4!? Awesome work. Thank you very much. Because of your example - I am thinking of just another labyrinth game Heheh just kidding :).... well but if i look at the example again.... maybe.... Thank you!

This will smooth out the rotation/angle of the Active:

rot( "Active" )+(((360-(ATan2(((YDirect( "Accelerometer object" )*-1)-Global Value Y), (XDirect( "Accelerometer object" )-Global Value X))) mod 360)-rot( "Active" )+540) mod 360-180)/10.0

Here's the story behind that: Please login to see this link.

This makes me want to re-do my old accelerometer-controlled app... It was pretty poor really, I couldn't get it to reconfigure.

I know this was made with iOS in mind, but I tried saving it as an XNA application for Windows Phone. I ended up with pretty weird behavior, mainly that the motions were reversed. If I tilted my phone so left side was down, ball rolled right, etc.

Its possible the values are reversed on windows phone?

I'm trying to dissect this example, but I'm a little stuck on one thing. Instead of holding the device flat to keep the ball still, is it possible to for example, 'Start of Frame,' set it to stay still there? I'm trying to revamp the movement system in my game here:

edit
I got it working. Seems to work better on the Z axis than the Y. Basically, I combined this movement system with the one I originally had. Not as perfect as I'd like it to be, as in your example, but it works pretty good.

I was playing around with this again. I just had a small question regarding the first example.

I'm looking for a way to slow it down as it gets toward the edge of the screen. Rather than looping the play field in my example video above. Is it possible to do that?

Thanks!
