Thought I’d better pass this along so all of you would have the latest scoop
on the poop. Bill, this sounds like a good game for you to try out. Even
if you throw that IPhone across the room you’ve got that fancy case to
protect it!

Discussion: Blind player beats hardest level in iPhone sword-fighting
game/simulation
HI Reginald,
Thanks for the kind welcome.
Our game is quite unique because the players swing their iPhone or iPod
touch like a sword. Here are the moves:
How to hold the iPhone and how to do the movements required:
If right handed, hold the iPhone in your right hand with the top up and the
screen facing out to the left from your hand.
There are four moves:
stab: Hold the iPhone with the top pointed forward and screen on the left.
Then push the iPhone straight forward like a knife.
overhead slash: Point the iPhone up and tilted back a bit with the screen
facing left. Then swing it down like a sword.
right slash: Point the iPhone to the right and back a bit with the screen
facing up. Then swing the iPhone to the left like a sword.
left slash: Point the iPhone to the left and back a bit with the screen
facing down. Then swing the iPhone to the right like a sword.
If left handed, do the same motions but hold the iPhone in your left hand
with the top up and the screen facing your left palm.
All the blocks are made with the iPhone held still briefly so the iPhone can
read its sensors. So the idea is to quickly move the iPhone into position
and hold it there very briefly.
High block: Hold the iPhone horizontally with the screen facing forward.
Low block: Hold the iPhone horizontally with the screen facing your body.
Right block: Hold the iPhone vertically with the top up and the screen
facing forward.
Left block: Hold the iPhone vertically with the top down and the screen
facing forward.
Yes, the left block is a rather strange movement -- it was necessary for the
iPhone to tell the difference.
All the best,
I forgot to mention that iSamurai: Critical Strike Lite is free and includes
the full single-player game. That is the version used by our blind warrior
friend who beat the Samurai.
