i set my game up in landscapeRight, and everything works fine, when i slide my finger to the left the object follows my finger, but when i flip my device to landscapeLeft, when i slide my finger to the left my object goes right. anyone have any ideas?

@MatthewPerry,
did you try to set the gravity based on the orientation? That might help to keep the gravity right. After all the phone is doing what it is supposed to do in reality, but the finger movements are what you have coded.

Hope that made sense to you... Use the orientation event to set the game orientation and axis, etc

cheers,

?:)

it makes sense and I get what you are saying. the gravity seems to be working ok, i just dont know how i would fix the object moving in the opposite directions, here is the code i am using for the touch event
