Multiple UIView instance doesn't work

I have subclass UIView class in a Bounce class with Accelerometer. This Bounce class show an image and move it on the screen. When the iPhone device is moved, this image Bounce on the screen.

When I create multiple instance, only last instance work properlty:

// in the MainViewController.m

Bounce *heart[100];


for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    rx = (arc4random() % 300) + 10;
    ry = (arc4random() % 300) + 10;
    NSLog(@"random %d %d", rx, ry);
    heart[i] = [[Bounce alloc] initWithPNG:@"Heart.png" 
                       position:CGPointMake(rx, ry) size:CGSizeMake(64, 64)];
    heart[i].velocity = CGPointMake(1.0, 1.0);
    [self.view addSubview: heart[i]];
}

This is the Bounce Class:

Can you help me?

That's because self.accelerometer.delegate = self; is changing the sharedAccelerometer's delegate and only the last assignment will have effect.

I believe that only the front-most view will get the acceleromter messages. You might want the accelrometer messages to be sent to your viewcontroller instead.

What I might do here. (It may not be the best thing long term, but will fix the immediate problem) is this:

I'd make accelerated gravity a static variable shared among all instances of Bounce. This makes sence to me because in the real world (the one that we are simulating) Accelerated gravity would be the same for all the Bounces. (I'd also rename Bounce to something like BouncingView). I'd access that variable through a couple of class methods. Also, I'd make the accelerometer shared, and have its delegate method, a class method. Put this stuff in your class and it should work: (I'd test it but my development machine is at the Apple Store getting fixed.) Also, there are a couple syntax errors in the example code you posted.

  static CGCGPoint acceleratedGravity;
  static UIAccelerometer *accelerometer;

    -(void) init {
        /* Everything Else */
        self.accelerometer = [UIAccelerometer sharedAccelerometer];
        self.accelerometer.delegate = self;
        /*Everything Else */
    }

    +(CGPoint) acceleratedGravity {
        return acceleratedGravity;
    }

    +(void) setAcceleratedGravity:(CGPoint) _acceleratedGravity {
        acceleratedGravity = _acceleratedGravity;
    }

+ (void)accelerometer:(UIAccelerometer *)accelerometer didAccelerate:(UIAcceleration *)acceleration {
    acceleratedGravity.x = acceleration.x * gravity;
    acceleratedGravity.y = -acceleration.y * gravity;
}
