Windows 8 accelerometer

reginald.bernardin

hey i currently publishing my game to windows 8. this may be a dumb question but does do the new windows 8 tablets have an accelerometer function for tilting? my game focuses heavily on this. I notice the tablets are hybrids like a laptop. So i am just making sure if that function is still there. anyone who answers i appreciate, thanks and take care.

Not sure what you mean by 'the new Windows 8 tablets' ?

If you mean the 'surface' then yes they do have an accelerometer.

If you need to know the specs for a particular brand of tablet just Google the name of the tablet + 'specs'.

hi! according to atxryan on this thread http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/comment/369222/#Comment_369222. you can deploy your game to windows RT.

I wrote up a quick blog post about side-loading onto a Surface or other Windows RT device. http://ryanjoy.com/2013/01/sideloading-a-windows-8-app-onto-a-surface/

Ignore the first part about creating an app package in Visual Studio. This is not applicable to GameSalad, but behind the scenes GS is producing the same structure for you to test. When you publish your game to GS for Windows 8, you'll get back a .zip. Follow the instructions in the second part of the post to load that app on your device.
