Hi all, I am making a simple, tilt controlled game using UIKit. So far, when I tilt the device the character moves in the appropriate direction. What I want him to do is to change the direction he is facing when I tilt the device. For example, when I tilt it left, I want the character to face left. Is there a way to detect whether the device was tilted left or right? If so, could you point me in the right direction please. Thanks, Tate

If knowing the actual rotation is good enough for you. Then I would suggest to use an UIViewController and override - (void)didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)fromInterfaceOrientation method
If you need more stuff then I would suggest to do a search about accelerometer

I needed more of a tilt based control not a full orientation change but thanks for trying.-Tate
