How to move left and right by tilting your phone left and right

http_gamesalad

How would I do that?

gyroscope

Hi @http_gamesalad you'd make use of the gyroscope. (Not me, haha) also called the accelerometer.

Here's a tutorial (quite old now but should still be relevant) showing use of the accelerometer in GSC.

@gyroscope‌ I see what you did there.. The thing is , is that why do we have to use self.postion.acceleromterY and not self.postion.acceleromterX? I never understood that... Cause the x axis goes left and right and the Y axis goes up and down

gyroscope

I've never understood that either... I guess it's because you're "pulling" the x axis down, the same for y, "pulling" it left and right....

Edit: the video below seems to use the x and y coords as you would think, so....

Here is another tutorial if you want to check it out. Its very similar but offers more responsive controls in my opinion. Both work fine though.
