So my roommate is a programmer and the other night he brewed up an interesting little way of using Wii-Motes to play on his Macbook, which he then hooked up to the TV. We ended up playing Turtles in Time the arcade game, pretty sweet.

The point for him was just to see if he could actually program a Wii-mote like that since they're Bluetooth devices, and specifically (later on) he plans on trying to see if he can get the Wii-mote to work like a light gun on PC; right now it's 'Wii-mote in classic controller' mode only, or at least that was all he could figure out.

Given the bluetooth nature of the sensing devices, my roomie expects to see a ton of homebrewing going on, and I can definitely see that. Has anyone else done anything interesting with their Wiis yet? Obviously no talk of piracy is allowed, but finding new and interesting ways to play with your Wii is both fun and a really bad pun.

I know there's all sorts of flash games made for the wii, but I haven't been assed to try them yet.

I've wanted to tinker with the wii mote for a while, but I haven't had the chance, or I haven't felt like it. :P

The coding has been released a while back now. Because it's a bluetooth based remote, it isn't too hard to create the coding necessary for it to be used like a mouse on a pc. It's already been done by many people. I was actually gonna do it a while back but didn't have the time.

In theory it's not hard at all, but it did take a bit of tweaking before we got it right, but that's probably because my roomie wanted to just figure it all out himself instead of looking anything up.
