Title: PLUGIN: Wii Remote Control
Post by: scotch on Sun 01/04/2007 09:53:59

I saw some interest in using the SIXAXIS controller in AGS games, in the "AGS to move to PS3" (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=30744.0) thread. I decided that those of us stuck with the old version on Windows might like to try stuff like motion sensing controls without having to update to the PS3 platform, so here is this rough plugin which allows you to use the Wii remote in your AGS games. Currently motion sensing, IR sensing, buttons and rumble are supported.

Requirements: Nintendo Wii remote(s) connected to your PC (easily done via most bluetooth adapters), a relatively modern version of AGS.

Wow. If only my archaic computer had bluetooth. Well done.

Bluetooth USB dongles are very cheap, but I doubt anyone would use this for real, in a 2d adventure game.

That sounds really cool scotch, now I'm starting to wish I hadn't flogged my Wii...

I'm gonna look real silly either way, but I have to ask...

Is this an April Fools?

It was in spirit, but the plugin does work, so kind of no...

Edit: here's a choppy video of the test app, it's not very interesting: http://caverider.com/ags_wiimote/ags_wiimote.html
