Implement Touch/Tilt with 8-Directional Movement

Hey,

I wanted to know if anyone has had any experience using tilt controls with the 8 directional movement behavior.

Basically I have a game similar to Helicopter, what I want to do is allow the player to use the accelerometer to move Left, Right, Up, and Down. In the capx example below I was able to get the Up & Down movemnet correct but wasnt able to do so for moving left & right.

Is there a way to set the zero point at the start of the layout so the player isnt positioned to a disadvantage when the game starts?

Any insight on this would be much appreciated

Were you able to figure this out? I'd also like to know how to do this.

Yeah I figured it out but keep in mind accelerometer controls are different for different OS's if not devices

i.e the configuration for tilt controls on an iphone may be different for a Samsung Galaxy

Use Beta and Gamma orientation

Use global variables to help tweak the speed
