Maybe built in suport insted of having to use GlovePIE would be the best solution, but thats not likely to come anytime soon (I dare you Scratch Team to work it into 2.0) So i geuss its down to the Scratchers to work it out, like we always to eventualy.

I don't think squeak has wiimote support...
but glovePIE can make the wiimote into a joystick.

Squeak can get joystick input, so someone COULD make (joystick x) (joystick y} blocks for scratch... but it would mean people would have to use hacked scratch, I want something that works easier than that...  I have another idea I'm working on. (get glove pie to convert multiple analog signals (tilt, nunchuck control stick) to mouse positions... that scratch converts back. )

So what is this Tapping/mouse input stuff your talking about?

As I explained, that's a workaround, it's how I made it work for now.  instead of having a variable that can report -90 to 90 degrees directly to scratch.  I'm making glovePIE tap the a and d keys more and less depending on the angle,  my scratch program converts the tapping into an angle.  but the result is jerky, so I want to get the number directly.  so if there was an easy way to get joystick control into scratch we'd be set.

Cool get the idea from me?

yeah, you started it!  I just put your name up there.
I answered your "is it possible to make the wiimote work with scratch?" question
and now I'm trying to answer your "can you use the tilt sensor block with wiimote?" question.  they're good tough questions...

Ok how about connecting a scratch board and a Wii Remote and getting it to code it for you?

This summer at the Scratch@MIT conference I'll be presenting a new scratchboard that has a 3-axis accelerometer. We're using them in the labs at UMass Lowell right now, and are doing all sorts of motion sensing projects.

Just a heads-up. :-)

But thats for linux. But its a start...

I didn't give a good link showing that squeak can take joystick input, here's a better one.

That looks awesome, thanks for sharing!

(if we modified a sensorboard driver to take wiimote input we'd be set, but that wouldn't work online...  I'll try out the mouse moving method.)

Thats much better, but what ar they using in that? I know its squeak, but they're talking about supplies flaps and stuff. Is there a squeak editor or something? Because scratch's squeak definetly doesn't have that.

That's using the official squeak from squeak.org

Ok, iv got what i need for that tutorial... lets see how it works... i dont see how this will help with scratch though, its just how do you dismantle an image file... thats a question...
