IMO, I'd go with the accelerometer implementation. The reason being that for a rolling ball you could use the values for the X and Y axis, perhaps scale them a bit to meet your needs. I've done exactly that on a test application I was working on. Going with the orientation implementation, you would have to do some calculations to get the x and y forces, which would not be all that difficult.
It may be a matter of preference but for me the simple way seems to be to use the accelerometer. ~clark On Mar 23, 3:20 pm, Carl Whalley <[email protected]> wrote: > If I'm reading things right, the accelerometer measures physical > forces (i.e. movement) and the orientation sensor gives the tilt of > the handset.
