CMMotionManager<\/code> (which is part of Apple\u2019s\u00a0CoreMotion<\/code>\u00a0framework). So don’t forget to include the framework at the top of your code: import CoreMotion<\/code>.<\/p>\nYou must also create one (single) CMMotionManager instance.<\/p>\n
let motionManager: CMMotionManager = CMMotionManager()<\/code><\/pre>\nAnd start the motion manager in the didMoveToView()<\/code> function:<\/p>\nmotionManager.startAccelerometerUpdates()<\/code><\/pre>\nOnce the motion manager is up and running, we can retrieve motion data from it using the\u00a0accelerometerData<\/code> member.<\/p>\n\/\/ Get node of object to move\r\nlet paddle = childNodeWithName(PaddleCategoryName) as! SKSpriteNode\r\n\r\n\/\/ Get MotionManager data\r\nif let data = motionManager.accelerometerData {\r\n \r\n \/\/ Only get use data if it is \"tilt enough\"\r\n if (fabs(data.acceleration.x) > 0.2) {\r\n \r\n \/\/ Apply force to the moving object\r\n paddle.physicsBody!.applyForce(CGVectorMake(40.0 * CGFloat(data.acceleration.x), 0))\r\n \r\n }\r\n}<\/code><\/pre>\nIf you want to actually move the object, you need to make sure that the object has some physical properties:<\/p>\n
\/\/ Rectangular physics body around the object\r\npaddle.physicsBody = SKPhysicsBody(rectangleOfSize: paddle.frame.size)\r\n \r\n\/\/ Make it dynamic\r\npaddle.physicsBody!.dynamic = true\r\n \r\n\/\/ We don't want the object to fall of the screen\r\npaddle.physicsBody!.affectedByGravity = false\r\n \r\n\/\/ Add some mass to it\r\npaddle.physicsBody!.mass = 0.02<\/code><\/pre>\n
