How can i test tilt efftect? - IPhone Simulator

Question

Hi,

I am trying to write a game. That game uses tilt effect, but i don't know how to test it on Iphone Simulator 3.0. I search it on internet, but the result is zero. How can i...?

Answer 1

Short answer: You can't, not directly. You have to use a real device.

Longer answer: You could subclass UIAccelerometer and do as you like. You could simulate input, or write a client and server pair that sends acceleration information from a real device to your app running in the simulator, or from your Macbook's accelerometer if you fancy waving your laptop around.

Answer 2

There's an application in the AppStore called iSimulate which lets you feed an actual device's accelerometer inputs into the sim. You do need to have a device for testing.

Answer 3

Try https://code.google.com/p/accelerometer-simulator/. It does the same thing as iSimulate -- it sends accelerometer events from the phone to your computer -- but it's free and open source.
