My game is controlled solely using the accelerometer, so without any touches occurring, the screen dims after a few minutes of gameplay (as described here: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=532241). I suppose I could synthesize a touch event every minute or so, but perhaps there's an easier way. Any ideas on how to stop this from occurring? Thanks in advance!

Look at UIApplication's setIdleTimerDisabled method.
