i've to add a 4. as well
4. i think there's a problem with the sensor reading in your app. Sometimes i slightly move my phone and the movement is catched and the gun double-charges and fires with a single movement; other times i shake it very hard but nothing happens... It's a bit frustrating trying to shot someone this way

Well this app is by no means finished! ha ha - I knocked it up in a couple of hours - so its no surprise that its a bit twitchy.

When I get some dev time I will refine it for you all.

The sensor is triggered when the phone is vertical and moved up and down, then the shot is triggered whtn the phone is horizontal and moved forward and back. It is possible that your sensor needs calibrating? - Mine was well off until I calibrated it, now its more usable

I have ideas for other sensor apps so watch this space (PPCWhip, PPCGrenade, PPCChainsaw etc) - those should keep you sensor freaks happy for a while!

Regards

Mike.

Round hardware button on the front of the Pro/Diamond (Enter button?) press and hold it down and the app should end

Nope, sensor is ok: it rotates the screen almost instantly with changescreen, and calibration is perfect with Bubble Level, tether, resco bubbles and G-Alarm. Maybe the trigger is different between diamond and HD (but i think it shouldn't, since both use the same sensorsdk).

Tryed both on Omnia 1910, nothing. Probibly because its using the HTC's sensor?
It would be great to see a version using the omnia's accelerometer!

I only have access to a HTC Diamond and the HTC SDK. If you can provide the SDK for the Omnia I will give it a go and see if It can be a multi-device app?

Cheers
