The defaut direction is UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight. the multiple directions also can be specified like that :

[swipeGesture setDirection: UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight|UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft];

/// But if you want to get every single direction ,like that:

 UISwipeGestureRecognizer *swipeGestureR = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleSwipeGestureRight:)];
[swipeGestureR setDirection: UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionRight ];
 [[[CCDirector sharedDirector] openGLView] addGestureRecognizer:swipeGestureR];

[swipeGestureR release];

UISwipeGestureRecognizer *swipeGestureL = [[UISwipeGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleSwipeGestureLeft:)];
[swipeGestureL setDirection: UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirectionLeft];
[[[CCDirector sharedDirector] openGLView] addGestureRecognizer:swipeGestureL];

[swipeGestureL release];

the function handleSwipeGestureLeft will be called when swipe to left,and handleSwipeGestureRight wil be called when you swipe to right
