Games that use macbook motion sensor

hey hey!

was just having a laugh with that light sabre program thing on my newly arrived macbook and wondered if there were any games that use the motion sensor.

some sort of marble madness style game would be ideal.

Buy an external HDD and clone your drive first

I don't think there are any, I don't think it would really be accurate enough to make a decent game with.

There are games like ToySight which use the iSight camera to control games though.

I dunno, have you played with Seismac? It's remarkably sensitive.

No, but I've played around with some code briefly.. it's very sensitive, but seemed quite hard to accurately pickup which way it was going all the time.

I'm sure someone will write a game at some point, but not sure i'd risk my mac by flinging it around

Virtue supports smacking out of the box now, doesn't work very well though unless your mac is on a desk.. too much recoil otherwise.
