Fun with accelerometers

[Pineapple]

I know there are already a few accelerometer examples, but I made one too!

I think mine is a little more feature packed, though.

Features: movement via accelerometer, a fairly realistic rolling ball, device calibration/recalibration, and tilt direction.

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

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.
