Shake Detection Plugin & Paint Plugin info!

Hey all, I'm working on a plugin that will detect shakes and perform actions based on shakes (for example, launching another screen, pop ups, etc). Another example: shake to "agree to terms" and use app, or "shake to start app" or "shake to contact us", ect. It's going to be a really creative plugin, and I can tell you that I've already successfully tested it and it works, but theres a lot of restructuring on my end to do before it get's released. The purpose of this thread is for you guys to give me more ideas, more "structure sound" purposes, so that I can improve it before submission. Any ideas/comments/suggestions are SUPER appreciated! ALSO for those still waiting on the Paint Plugin.. it's been finished but it's still under review (bt team is busy). You can find more info on it here: https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=61FB41968A1E99CD59BE043&fid=29FCCE999D443E6BA90435B&sortColumn=FT.id&sortUpDown=DESC&currentPage=1 Cheers, David https://buzztouchmods.com

It seem like a cool plugin. Maybe it can evolve to a new swipe gesture plugin to change screens. Good work. Congrats

Can't wait to see the plugin David, sounds like a winner. Here are a few idea: What about shake to go back to the home page or shake to refresh? Combined with HTML and Javascript one could make a shake to get random images/words/answers/quotes, etc. Cheers, Farcat

If you could launch an existing buzztouch page on shake, that would be pretty cool - previously discussed here :- http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=ABC0B1326E97A56F54FF235 Alan

sounds very cool. I smell some serious JSON in that to decide what screen or action might occur on the shake.... Is it going to be named "Shake it up"? Excited to have the UI Gesture class avail in BT when this comes out. I've got this app on my phone. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/onion-magic-answer-ball/id488256607?mt=8 I know Mattel has a real Magic 8 app, but that Onion one is 100x better.

Wow, this sounds great! Perhaps a "Shake For Random" feature? For example, I have a list of 200 games in my app, shaking the device would open any one of these PDF files. Keep it up! Nicholas

Guys, your features have been added. Atrain, dig through the code to see how much JSON is really used ;) IT'S LIVE! https://www.buzztouch.com/plugins/plugin.php?pid=FAD3221726833083625AFA1 Cheers! David https://buzztouchmods.com/market
