cheap and easy way of making a tilt sensor
I'd prefer if it was more analog (like a light sensor).
Maybe there could be a pendulum hooked up to some
kind of extremely loose variable resistor or "pot".

If you want super cheap, you could experiment making something like a
mercury tilt switch but filled with salt water. The resistance will vary
with how much of the electrodes are submerged.
