Smoother Accelerometer Movement

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hello!
I used the example Accelerometer1 and now tried to use the code for a game.
Though, I noticed that the movement isn’t really smooth. It’s like moving every second frame.

Here’s the code for the reference:

[code]
require “sprite”
display.setStatusBar( display.HiddenStatusBar ) – hide status bar
local background = display.newImage( “sand.png” )

local PlayerSheet = sprite.newSpriteSheet(“player.png”, 32, 32)
local PlayerMove = sprite.newSpriteSet(PlayerSheet, 1, 2)
local Player = sprite.newSprite( PlayerMove )

Player.x = display.contentWidth / 2
Player.y = display.contentHeight / 2

local function onAccelerate( event )
Player.x = (Player.x + event.xGravity * 40)
Player.y = (Player.y - event.yGravity * 40)
end

Runtime:addEventListener (“accelerometer”, onAccelerate);

You can set the frequency of the accelerometer events:
system.setAccelerometerInterval(frequency) – range is 10 to 100.
