WiiAction C++ Input Library
From Daniel P. Wright
Four days after the UK release of the Nintendo Wii, I have completed the first version of the WiiAction C++ Input Library. It has a very clean interface, similar to Microsoft’s XInput.
Supported:
- All button presses
- Tilting (using internal “accelerometer”)
- Rumble
Yet to be supported:
- IR Triangulation (For the screen pointer)
- Sound
- Expansion ports (nunchuck etc)
No plans to support fully:
- Mii Data. It’s there and accessible, but the idea of writing a Mii Editor to actually edit or display the Miis bores me. It is possible to get the Mii name though, and use that on scoreboards and suchlike.
Technical Information:
The library is written in C++ using the Broadcom WIDCOMM DK. Demos compiled using this library require a WIDCOMM-compatible bluetooth dongle to support it. WiiAction is currently untested on other bluetooth stack formats.
