Fliping a charater on tilt

Games
#1

How do I make a character rotate to face towards the left if I tilt left or face right when I tilt right. Also important: I AM IN LANDSCAPE MODE. Please help.

Hi Avery,
Do you have the accelerometer part working yet? If not, study the sample project located in your local Corona directory: /CoronaSDK/SampleCode/Hardware/Accelerometer1/

For the flipping, you need to scale the character by -1 on the X factor… this, in effect, is like a mirror flip on the horizontal axis.

Best regards,

Thanks for the reply, yes I have the accelerometer part working. The part I need help on is that I don’t know how to make anything respond to tilt. For example I know how to make him flip but I just don’t know how to do that when I tilt the device.

Hmmm… isn’t this described somewhere in the code for the Accelerometer sample project?

Here are 2 more sample projects you might find useful:

Hopefully this will help you figure it out!
