Wiimote + C

[herWter]

I was wondering if anybody knew of a way to use a wiimote on a computer using C? Is there an sdk somewhere that I can't find? Just thought this would be really fun to mess around with.

Some of the cooler projects I've seen....

The SDL supports the Wiimote, I'm pretty sure. It might not be worth using unless you're familiar with the SDL, but if you are . . . .

Here's someone else's implementation for the SDL. http://digitalretrograde.com/projects/wiim/

I couldn't find it in the sdl doc. Any links? I can't find it in google for my life.

Actually, it seems like you need to use a library called wiiuse. http://www.wiiuse.net/?nav=api
SDL example using wiiuse (not sure how good it is): https://forge.openinterface.org/plug...ev=1&pathrev=1

So it's not a part of sdl?

[dwks]

No, unfortunately. Not built-in. Not that it has much to do with it, but they like to keep the SDL itself small. It even only supports BMP images, delegating PNG and so on to SDL_image.)

I wouldn't exactly call that an unfortunate thing. Wii and sdl are completly unrelated and I'm glad they are in seperate libraries.
