Orientation of screen?
You have to allow all orientations in the project settings, then only orientations allowed are Portrait or Upside down portrait in your viewController except the GameViewController: // BaseViewController override func supportedInterfaceOrientations() -> UIInterfaceOrientationMask { if UIDevice.currentDevice().userInterfaceIdiom == .Phone { return UIInterfaceOrientationMask.Portrait.rawValue | UIInterfaceOrientationMask.PortraitUpsideDown.rawValue } else { return .All } }...
startAccelerometerUpdatesToQueue Type of expression is ambiguous without more context
This is one of those problems that can be solved by retyping the code from scratch. It appears that the second parameter to startAccelerometerUpdatesToQueue() is now an object of type (CMAccelerometerData?, NSError?) -> Void instead of (CMAccelerometerData!, NSError!) -> Void. You just need to rewrite your call to reflect this....
Is this Swift syntax efficient?
It fires everytime the getter is called. No way this could be optimized away. You might want to keep a preset colors array in sync with the photos property, i.e. change it directly when setting the photos. I also dislike the tight coupling in that place which seems unnecessary. I...

What's the equivalent of finally in Swift

How to get time difference based on GMT on Swift
I think your problem is that you are using a calendar with an unset time zone. Your calculation of adding 60*60*24*2 to the current time does not account for the two days when some timezones change to and from daylight savings time. Those days are 23 and 25 hours long....
