In games like Fraction Bounce, I use the accelerometer if it
available. If not, I fall; back to the keyboard. I think that would be
a reasonable approach for Maze as well.  Not sure what you have in
mind for Physics, which currently has no real user interaction once
the objects are created. Of course, I have a block for accessing
accelerometer data in Turtle Blocks. But I don't need to
enable/disable it, as its use is under the control of the Turtle
programmer.
