I am trying to move a dot at center to 8 directions of iphone screen using Devicemotion such that it moves faster when tilted at a faster rate. Rough sketch is below:
I could find a similar implementation in an app called Gyrododge in appstore, i cant figure out how to make it work...
Update:
This is what i have done so far, but the response is not smooth, and is very jittery..
xdiff and ydiff are the change of device attitude in x and y directions, derived from quatenion implementation.

It could be great if i could make it move like the application i have stated above, called Gyrododge
This link also addresses a similar question:Link.
Any advice or help is greatly appreciated...
Thanks.
