http://www.adobe.com/devnet/logged_in/jchurch_flashplayer10.1.html

SOME NEW FLASH 10.1 FEATURES:

1. Multitouch (Goose)
2. Compute Spectrum on the Microphone (Woodpecker)
3. Accelerometer (Penguin)

FOR PENGUIN TILT AND TRANSLATION CLASSES:

We can now get tilt data from Flash rather than requiring external programs providing the data.  This is great news!

You can use Penguin to emulate tilt while you develop on a PC then plug the actual tilt data in for play on a device with tilt.

Download Penguin Tilt Emulator for Flash and try it out!

All the best!

Inventor Dan Zen will give a talk Wed July 8th from 7-9 at the Mobile Developers and Designers group in Toronto.

Penguin Tilt Emulator in one of its modes

Penguin lets you make tilt games and applications in Flash.  Penguin comes with the Penguin Tilt Emulator that has a mobile device emulator so you can tilt, turn and translate a device.  This leaves tilt data (TiltML) on your machine.  Penguin reads the tilt data and provides an easy way to get at Roll, Pitch, Yaw, Forward, Right and Down data.
