Accelerometer to control handstans man?

Question

In my game i have to control handstand man using accelerometer. i used this code:

function acc:accelerometer(e)  
        if(e.yGravity > 0.1 and e.yGravity < 0.2)then
    boy:applyLinearImpulse(0.1, .5, boy.x, boy.y)

    elseif(e.yGravity > 0.2 and e.yGravity < 0.3)then
    boy:applyLinearImpulse(0.2, .5, boy.x, boy.y)

    elseif(e.yGravity > 0.3 and e.yGravity < 0.4)then
    boy:applyLinearImpulse(0.3, .5, boy.x, boy.y)

    elseif(e.yGravity > 0.4 and e.yGravity < 0.5)then
    boy:applyLinearImpulse(0.4, .5, boy.x, boy.y)

    elseif(e.yGravity > 0.5 and e.yGravity < 0.9)then
    boy:applyLinearImpulse(0.5, .5, boy.x, boy.y)

    elseif(e.yGravity > -0.1 and e.yGravity < 0.1)then
    boy:applyLinearImpulse(-0.1, .5, boy.x, boy.y)

    elseif(e.yGravity > -0.2 and e.yGravity < -0.1)then
    boy:applyLinearImpulse(-0.2, .5, boy.x, boy.y)

    elseif(e.yGravity > -0.3 and e.yGravity < -0.2)then
    boy:applyLinearImpulse(-0.3, .5, boy.x, boy.y)

    elseif(e.yGravity > -0.4 and e.yGravity < -0.3)then
    boy:applyLinearImpulse(-0.4, .5, boy.x, boy.y)

    elseif(e.yGravity > -0.5 and e.yGravity < -0.4)then
    boy:applyLinearImpulse(-0.5, .5, boy.x, boy.y)

    elseif(e.yGravity > -0.9 and e.yGravity < -0.5)then
    boy:applyLinearImpulse(-0.6, .5, boy.x, boy.y)
end

please help me how to code.

Answer 1

Try this:

function acc:accelerometer(e)
    boy:applyLinearImpulse(e.yGravity, .5, 0, 0)
end

This huge if statement looks terrible and is definitely the wrong way to be handling your problem, whatever that is. However, you don't describe your problem at all, you don't explain this code (would like to know what exactly are the parameters for applyLinearImpulse), and this website is not a place to submit chunks of code and expect others to do your work for you. If you want a helpful answer, please ask a helpful question. Good luck.
