No seriously, it looks like they mapped certain motions to buttons and turned the wiimote into a glorified analog stick. I can't see it being anywhere near as intuitive as a wii game, and no game dev could legally use it in a game. Someone just had too much time on their hands. |
Ok I have to ask, why would it be illegal for them to use a wiimote in their game? I can't really see anyone adding support for it in a game because it's doubtful a lot of people would go out to buy a wiimote when they already own existing input devices (keyboard/mouse for PC and 360 controller for 360).
As for the libraries using it as a glorified analog stick that's not the case, just look at the WiimoteState object that returns *everything* about the Wiimote.
Some people may think it's a waste of time or ask why people bother but projects like this can be extremely fun, interesting, and rewarding
