Here's a fun, somewhat offbeat post for your Sunday afternoon.

When it comes to tilt-controlled games, iOS devices are the king. But tilt isn't for everyone. And, if you've got enough time on your hands � along with some serious engineering savvy � you can turn any tilt controlled title in the App Store into a stick-controlled affair. At least that's what Shane Wighton has shown us in his rather hard-core hack that lends analog stick control to any iPhone tilt game.

See the Tilt to Live [App Store]-based demonstration video.

Hack a Day recently featured the project, which mounts an iPhone to a joystick-controlled, motorized X / Y tilt sled allowing a nudge of the stick to set the iPhone on edge. But the magic doesn't stop there… Designer Wighton has also mounted a webcam above the iPhone and designed a photoreactive algorithm that lets the tilt sled, without human intervention, to get a ball from start to finish in Labyrinth [App Store].

Strong work, Shane.
