Missile Command on 100"+ Screen
« on: December 02, 2008, 10:51:38 pm »
I've finally gotten back to trying out the wiimote out with my projector my home pc PSU was bad and kept rebooting when i tried to do some testing.

I now have a EEE PC 1000h and am using the internal bluetooth with it to test out the wiimote for touchscreen.

It's worked out well i've just got my laptop + Projector + wiimote and have been surfing and doing some cool stuff all day (i've been up for more than 26 hours so excuse any spelling mistakes etc)

I remember a while ago we had a video of a multi touch missile command at some expo and we were discussing how its abit of a cheat.

Well i've tested this out on my setup and i think it makes it more fair as im using a ir pen to shoot the missiles so it brings the game back into something challenging.

I took a little video to show u guys i just used a missile command flash close as a quick test.

It plays great i did accidently knock the wiimote when i setup the camera so my mouse pointing is about 10 to 15cm off where i click i just need to recalibrate but im tired and couldnt be bothered taking another video.

My screen is huge not sure on the size i know its bigger than 100" tho

Now this worked well and i havent even tried mame yet but what other arcade games that used trackballs would this work well with? this is just the mouse being moved to a position and the left click being pressed so its not gonna work on games where you have to move the mouse as this just puts the cursor where u point it doesnt actually move the cursor like it would if u used a mouse.

Any other flash games that would work well will be great too :) i know theres bejewled but i cant think of any other games that suit touchscreens/my setup
