But also thank you for the suggestions. I've been playing with a few ideas, like some challenges between levels. Expect some updates coming soon!

Going through it i find myself suddenly in katakana without the ability to go back. To make it more game like you could split the kana into five parts. Add a card flip game (matching) or some sort Should add a way to redo levels. Going through it i find myself suddenly in katakana without the ability to go back.

Good catch on my mix-up there. I wanted roll (values[2]) but I inappropriately called it pitch in this post. My bad. However, I haven't worked in the SensorManager lately and this being a year old post I know some of this has changed, multiple times in fact. I should do an update post. The docs say SensorManager.SENSOR_ORIENTATION is deprecated now and point to Sensor.TYPE_ORIENTATION, which also says it's deprecated and points to SensorManager.getOrientation(). However that's an active method of looking up orientation and not applicable for most people's usage where the previous event/listener pattern worked great. Oh well, like I said, I need to research it up again and make an update post. Thanks for calling me out my mixups though. You are both correct. Good catch on my mix-up there.

If you want pitch, use "values[1]". Not "values[2]". I concur with Abhinav.

If you want pitch, use “values[1]“. Not “values[2]“.

Sideways rotation is called Roll, whereas rotation forwards or backwards is Pitch. Android allows pitch values from -180 to 180, and roll values from -90 to 90. If your Roll exceeds 90, it assumes that your pitch has gone from 0 to -180, and starts decreasing your roll. Hi,

Your approach looks ok and works fine. Thanks for sharing! This was really helpful, I was also trying to set up my activity by using OrientationEventListener with no success.
