RemoteSensors - Like the PicoBoard, but with an android phone!

RemoteSensors is an android app I'm developing which is basically like the PicoBoard, but it is also wireless in addition to the wired feature (I'm working on this.)

I have made a demo game in Panther where you tilt your android device, and a sprite moves in the tilt direction.

So, any requests?

Please let me know when this is done by commenting on a project of mine!
Will it need an extra client-side program to be run?  How would the wireless part work? Internet or bluetooth or... what?

Well it wouldn't need the Internet, but it would still need Wi-Fi.

Yep. It needs Wi-Fi.

I shall tell you when it's done!
It DOESN'T need a client side program. ANYTHING can parse it, as the phones values are printed as:

X
Y
Z

or

0.0123
0.2345
0.6789

I'm currently adding the speech recognizer!

I'm thinking about bluetooth, as it allows higher demand rather than updating every second.

I wish it could be iOS, but I don't have xcode.
