I am working on some Cocos2D tutorials (doodle drop) and have downloaded the program on my device. The program is working but I have to hold the iPhone in a very specific, and not very good, angle to make the little icon move. As it is i must hold the device horizontal with a small tilt forward.
I would like to be able to hold the device horizontal to vertical and tip the device and get the little icon to move.
Could someone please give me some hints how to code this?
Here is my my code:
-(void) spiderBelowScreen:(id)sender {
// Make sure sender is actually of the right class
NSAsser([sender isKindOfClass:[CCSprite class]], @"sender is not a CCSprite!");
CCSprite *spider = (CCSprite*)sender;
// Move the spider back up outside the top of the screen
CGPoint pos = spider.position;
CGSize screenSize = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] winSize];
pos.y = screenSize.height + [spider texture].contentSize.height;
spider.position = pos;
}
-(void) runSpiderMoveSequence:(CCSprite*)spider {
// Slowly increase the spider speed over time
numSpidersMoved++;
if (numSpidersMoved % 8 == 0 && spiderMoveDuration > 2.0f) {
spiderMoveDuration -= 0.1f;
}
// This is the sequence which controls the spiders' movement
CGPoint belowScreenPosition = CGPointMake(spider.position.x, [spider texture].contentSize.height);
CCMoveTo *move = [CCMoveTo actionWithDuration:spiderMoveDuration position:belowScreenPosition];
CCCallFuncN *call = [CCCallFuncN actionWithTarget:self selector:@selector(spiderBelowScreen)];
CCSequence *sequence = [CCSequence actions:move, call, nil];
[spider runAction:sequence];
}
-(void) spidersUpdate:(ccTime)delta {
// Try to find a spioder which isn't currently moving
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
int randomSpiderIndex = CCRANDOM_0_1() * [spiders count];
CCSprite *spider = [spiders objectAtIndex:randomSpiderIndex];
// If the spider isn't moving it won't have any running actions
if ([spider numberOfRunningActions] == 0) {
// This is the squense wich controls the spiders' movement
[self runSpiderMoveSequence:spider];
// Only onbe spider should start moving at a time
break;
}
}
}
-(void) resetSpiders {
CGSize screenSize = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] winSize];
// Get any spider to get its image width
CCSprite *tempSpider = [spiders lastObject];
CGSize size = [tempSpider texture].contentSize;
int numSpiders = [spiders count];
for (int i = 0; i < numSpiders; i++) {
// Put each spider at its designated position outside the screen
CCSprite *spider = [spider objectAtIndex:i];
spider.position = CGPointMake(size.width * i + size.width * 0.5f, screenSize.height + size.height);
[spider stopAllActions];
}
// Uschedule the selector just in case. If it isn't scheduled it wont do anything
[self unschedule:@selector(spidersUpdate:)];
// Schedule the spider update logic to run at the given interval
[self schedule:@selector(spidersUpdate:) interval:0.7f];
}

// Use as many spiders as can fit next to each other over the whole screen width

// Initialize the spider array using alloc
spiders = [[CCArray alloc] initWithCapacity:numSpiders];
for (int i = 0; i < numSpiders; i++) {
CCSprite *spider = [CCSprite spriteWithFile:@"spider.png"];
[self addChild:spider z:0 tag:2];
// Also add the spider to the spider array
[spiders addObject:spider];
}
// call the method to reposition all spiders
[self resetSpiders];
}
-(void) update:(ccTime)delta {
// Keep adding up the playerVelocity to the players's position
