Corona Ultimote - iPhone 5 - Corona Version 2012.922 (2012.9.24)

Hi,

I am building my game and would love to use the gyroscope feature in corona Ultimote. I am using Storyboard and I put the ultimote require in the main.lua file. When I run my app in the simulatore nothing happens. I sometimes get multitouch on my game menu screen but nothing on my actual game screen (which is a separate scene)

Any thoughts. I would love to use this tool and avoid building my at 100 times.

Please Advise!

Hello Scott,

Thanks for your interest!
Sometimes the multitouch emulation does not work properly because there is really no way to simulate a “click” on the corona simulator and we had to resort to walking through all device objects and seeing if their bounding box matches the x,y coordinate. You can just click on the simulator to get in your game (you dont have to exclusively use the remote). However, all other events are very straightforward and should work in all cases. Have you tried enabling the gyroscope via the menu and seeing if you are getting any events?

You may want to also try our Glider IDE that will allow you to send gyroscope events to the simulator. If you like it, we can give you a discount equal to the price of Ultimote.
