I have implemented game application.In which i want to animate some area of images on shake effect.How it possible please give me advice.
Edit: My excatly query is that: In my game application there is one image.Now i am selected some area frame of image.now i am shaking iphone then only selected area of frame image must be animate.
Check out this blog entry: it about shaking a Window but you can the same technique on an image.
Have a look at LocateMe example code, one of the first samples in the SDK and use and change the bounce back to centre code.
Here is a skeleton ... then you can get more detail at the suggested docs. This is real simple-minded but has a randomization and you can instantiate with your own image. I created an image container as a UIViewController and in my main (either your AppDelegate or the RootViewController) you create the instance in viewDidLoad. The methods that have to be overloaded in your AppDelegate, (the code is at the end of the post) so it receives shakes, are:
You become a responder in viewWillAppear and you have to enable the device notifications (verified that there is a documented bug) so the motion methods get invoked.
I like to put an NSLog(@"%s", FUNCTION); statement in all my first-time written methods, that way I can quickly determine if something is missing to get my events, properly initialized, etc. Its just my style.

NSLog(@"%s", __FUNCTION__);
image = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:imageName]];

}
-(IBAction) shake {
cx = 0.90 + (random() % 10) / 100; // cx = 0.95;
cy = 0.90 + (random() % 10) / 100; // cy = 0.95;
duration = ( 5.0 + random() % 10) / 1000.0;
repeat = (65.0 + random() % 20);
image.transform = CGAffineTransformScale(CGAffineTransformIdentity, cx, cy);
[UIView beginAnimations: @"identifier" context: @"shake"];
[UIView setAnimationDelegate:image.superclass];
[UIView setAnimationDuration: duration]; // 0.008];
[UIView setAnimationRepeatCount: repeat]; // 85.0];
[UIView setAnimationRepeatAutoreverses: YES];
image.transform = CGAffineTransformScale(CGAffineTransformIdentity, 1.0, 1.0);
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
-(IBAction) bounce {
image.transform = CGAffineTransformTranslate(image.transform, -20, -6);
[UIView beginAnimations: @"identifier" context: @"bounce"];
[UIView setAnimationDelegate:image.superclass];
[UIView setAnimationDuration: duration];

image.transform = CGAffineTransformScale(CGAffineTransformIdentity, 1.0, 1.0);

This "root or main" delegate is a UIViewController. I have left of detail to show its simplicity, but still left my 'trace' code that I find essential for first-time debugging. Also, as an aside, I believe you have to overload motionBegan, even if you only need the motionEnded event. I recall that my app did not work and then I added the motionBegan and it started to call motionEnded. It kinda' makes sense that it would be that way, but I don't have any documentation to back it up. A simple experiment after you get it working can confirm or deny my comment.

This code does work -- but if I snipped out too much detail, just ask and I will make certain to add enough to help you along. This was a really rewarding task for me and I am excited to share it with someone looking for some help in the same experience.
