G-Sensor Applications/Games

[rdd0512]

what would be great is if someone could write a program that can emulate an iphone, just to run the .ipa programs and games...... im sure these devices have the capabilities.

Here is a cool gyrator event that might make a good addition to the list. Speakerphone on face down (a la Touch Pro 2).

Using Gyrator:

- Add a new "Rotation" event.
- Set application to Phone on the "Application" tab.
- On the "Orientation" tab check on "Portrait", "Face-down", and "Face-up".
- On the "Actions" tab check on "Simulate Keypress".
- Goto "Advanced" tab and select key "F16,127" which triggers the windows-native "Speakerphone Toggle event".

Done.

Now, starting NOT on speakerphone, whenever you put your phone on a level surface --facing up or down-- during a call, the speakerphone will toggle ON -> Moreover, if you pick it up it should toggle OFF. Good enough?

Cheers

P.S. You can also do the same for a "Stylus Out" event to fire when "Phone" application is focused, thereby simultaneously toggling on the speakerphone and starting up a new Note (default behaviour) whenever you take the stylus out during a call. Aren't we the lazziest lot..

Great thinking shirreer!

It will work just fine on the pro... I played with it a while ago, had a small lightsaber duel with my friend's iPhone. He won, his was bigger

hahah

Yup, 99% of apps that work on the Diamond will work on the Touch Pro and vice-versa. That's the beauty of Windows Mobile.

Not quite sure I get it... Is it really Windows Mobile or the fact that the diamond and TP are made by the same company at approximately the same time with approximately the same feature set. There are a few differences but the main one is that the TP has the slide out keyboard.

I don't really their compatibility is due simply because it is running Windows Mobile.

the make of the phones doesnt really matter......what matters is the operating system and the hardware.....if it is just a simple game (no gsensor) that can use a touch screen then it will work on most windows mobile 6.1 devices....the game copter for example...its a touch screen based game where you avoid obstacles by flying higher or lower (touching the screen makes you fly higher) this game works on any windows mobile 6.1 device with a touch screen...so its the programming of the game + what hardware is needed for the game

easiest comparison....its exactly like a computer.....you and a friend have a computer game for windows xp.....your computer is a dell his is an hp...the game works on both computers....its bc your both using windows xp

this is exactly right. The code is built to work with a specific operating system, in this case windows mobile. Some games do require specific hardware, ie. games that rely on the gsensor. In fact, even if you didnt have a gsensor most of those games would still run, you just wouldn't be able to use that part of the game. The only catch is that there are apps out there built to control specific parts of the hardware (like flashlight or nuelight, for example). Those may not work on just any phone thats running windows mobile...
