How to move a dynamic physics object via accelerometer.

Hardware (GPS, accelerometer, etc.)
#1

I am trying to move a ball around using the accelerometer, but I am having a hard time doing so, its either really jerky or the ball wont move up or down.

Would it be easier if it wasn’t dynamic?

Here is my code.

-- The hero variable is a newCircle() local function heroMovex(event) hero.x = (hero.x + event.xGravity)+20 hero.y = (hero.y + event.yGravity)+20 end Runtime:addEventListener("accelerometer", heroMovex)

Hi Sebastian,

You might want to test out the sample project which does this. It’s located in your local Corona application folder here:

CoronaSDK > SampleCode > Physics > ShapeTumbler

Note that you’ll need to install it on a device, since the accelerometer isn’t supported in the Corona Simulator.

Take care,

Brent
