Toronto, ON - February 27, 2007 – WiiCade is proud to announce the immediate availability of software that unlocks Nintendo Wii Remote functionality previously unavailable to online video games. This Application Programmer Interface (API) allows Flash developers to utilize the full range of buttons on the wireless remote device. Additionally, the API gives developers the potential to detect multiple, simultaneous button presses without interfering with the pointing capabilities of the remote; a feature not seen in previous APIs.
The intuitive nature of the API provides a wealth of other conveniences and advantages. One of the most innovative features of the API is that it automatically uses keyboard keys to emulate the functionality of the Nintendo Wii Remote on desktop computer systems. This allows games that utilize the remote to be played on a desktop computer without any additional code. Since the API offers the full range of buttons on the Nintendo Wii Remote, it also provides a clear method of circumventing the A button’s inherent rapid-detection limitations. A limitation that has been crippling to many online games.
By far, the best feature of the API is its easy-to-understand interface. Developers wishing to make their game Wii-ready only need to follow a few simple steps that are outlined on the WiiCade.com website. First, they download the ActionScript interface and include it in their working directory. Next, they paste a few common lines of code to initialize the “WiiMote” object. Lastly, the developer replaces their “Key.isDown” API calls with “WiiMote.isDown” calls, as outlined in the interface's documentation. This prepares the game to be exported and uploaded to WiiCade, where the rest of the work will be handled by server-side files.

The WiiCade API was fully developed by Jerason Banes, and is an extension of earlier research done by Mario Klingemann.

Nice!
I totally understood how it works. Not only the class, but the connection between the swfs and the JS. Nicely done.
I don't think you should keep this closed, you should open it so many more people can use it in other site and other Wiiapps.
Thanks!
i cant seem to get the files, it says: no page to display. if you wanna tell me something, im on the forums, so find me there
Well, so you practically add a "setRotated" method to my original class, move a few things around, rename the whole thing to "com.wiicade.WiiMote", call my WiiMote communication method "WiiCade's proprietary technology" and declare this the next big thing? Wow, I'm impressed by so much chutzpah.
using others work and then locking it to your own site is bad form. but oh well, it is only a matter of time before someone else figures out how to do this and is more generous about it.
Another disscussion on WiiCade's API.

Hi Mario!

Absolutely not. The com.wiimote.WiiCade class is a ground up redesign. While it uses the same onResize "trick" that you developed, the data passing over the channel is completely different. My design corrected a variety of flaws, including:
- The inability to use the 1 & 2 buttons due to Opera's default actions.
- The "stuck button" problem, whereby a button would get stuck "on" if another button was pressed before the first was released.
As the press release mentions, I also added a large number of features to my design while ensuring that it was still compatible with your class. (At an isDown() level, anyway. The key events don't work in my design.)
However, you DID invent the onResize technology, for which you deserve credit. That's why I made sure your name was mentioned in the code comments and in the press release. Basically, everywhere my own name gets mentioned.
I'd love to discuss this with you further. I sent you an email with the same info. I look forward to your reply! :)
Addendum: After saying that Mario's name is everywhere mine is, I did a quick check to make sure that was absolutely true across the board. As it happens, the API page (/api.aspx) was the one place that didn't give credit to Mario. I'd like to publically apologize for that.
While I have no control over that page, I rewrote the description to include Mario's name and sent it to the fine folks who run WiiCade. They were were kind enough to update the description immediately. So the proper credit is now given. Sorry about that.
I've helped clear up a lot of other misunderstandings in the thread browntown linked to, so it's a good place to further acquaint oneself on this matter.

Hi Jerason,
well, it sounds like that you did indeed some bigger changes in the parts of the code that currently can not be inspected, so I trust you on that. So - no hard feelings anymore from my side.
I wish you good luck with the API and hope that many game developers will make use of it. And of course I'd prefer if you opened up the source someday.
Thanks, Mario!
It's good seeing you around these parts. Don't be a stranger, as you're always welcome here.
Oh, and if you wish to talk more over email, my door is always open. :-)
I think that... if anyone wants to know how it works and knows a little, can make one of its own in about 30 minutes.
It's nice how it was thought and done, but it's easy and it's not reeeeeeeally closed.
I have it working on my pc webserver, and it's great. It should be open for other people to use, specially for Web apps for the Wii.
I hope flash 8 will be available in the next (and final) version of the Opera in about a month. That way you wouldn't need another swf on the page, a JS resizing a div and the LocalConnection. If flash 8 doesn't get the keys itself, you can use ExternalInterface, and you're done. Thet way it couldn't be closed.
You guys are really doing something huge here. You're letting indie developers get games onto the Wii.

I Don't get it :(
u noobs.... ur comments sucked...nerds.....
Can Opera for WII open local SWF files?
I'd like to develop some Flash games for Wii and I would like to know if Opera can run swf files situated locally on the WII rather than on-line.

A woman who attacked Leonardo DiCaprio with a broken beer bottle in 2005 has been given a restraining order. Aretha Wilson, 40, attacked the actor at a private Hollywood party held by Paris Hilton's ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon, before fleeing to Canada. Paris Hilton Nude is upon us again, The Inception star was left needing a dozen stitches to his face and neck. According to police reports, Wilson claimed she mistook him for an ex-boyfriend. After being extradited to the US, Wilson was ordered not to come within 500 yards of the actor and her bail was raised to £95,000 by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Hillery G. Merritt. Wilson did not enter a plea. She is now set to return one night in paris to the Los Angeles Superior Court on August 11 to face charges of assault with a deadly weapon, reports the BBC.
Paris Hilton Sex Tape
Paris Hilton is again on the eye of the storm after being spotted making the Nazi salute. The socialite was caught doing a Heil Hitler pose while partying with friends in a yacht in Saint Tropez. A spokesman for Hilton denied that the hotel heiress was copying the German dictator salute, saying,"Paris was dancing with her arm in the air, as she always does, and scratching her face when the photo was taken. "The hat was not a communist hat, it's a military style hat from a club. Half of her family is Jewish and many of her friends are as well," added her rep.

1 Night in Paris (2004) is a sex video depicting Paris Hilton and her then-boyfriend Rick Salomon engaging in sexual relations. Although Salomon was initially blamed for leaking it onto the Internet, those allegations have never been substantiated. The video was released shortly before Hilton's TV series The Simple Life Celebrity sex tape debuted, causing a sensation. Salomon originally sued Hilton for defamation when Hilton claimed publicly that she was "out of it" and didn't know what she was doing during the filming of the video.
These online sports betting become widely patronized especially among the global masses. Since the globe contains a huge number of masses compared to the other two social statuses, the online sports betting is pouring a lot of money compared to Las Vegas - the betting capital of the world.

What are you missing out on? Many people enjoy betting on sports but not everyone can compete at a high level. It all adds up to taking risks and how much you are willing to give in order to gain. Today, the stakes are not as high as they used to be, but that action has evolved into a multi-billion dollar industry. You can wager with money and when you win, you still get that tremendous rush. http://www.pulsebet.com/bg/ http://www.pulsebet.com/da/ http://www.pulsebet.com/de/ http://www.pulsebet.com/es/ http://www.pulsebet.com/fr/ http://www.pulsebet.com/gr/ http://www.pulsebet.com/jp/ http://www.pulsebet.com/nl/ http://www.pulsebet.com/pl/ http://www.pulsebet.com/pt/ http://www.pulsebet.com/ro/ http://www.pulsebet.com/ru/ http://www.pulsebet.com/se/ http://www.pulsebet.com/it/ http://www.pulsebet.com/cn/

Very interesting. I think we need new innovation for the Wii as the games seem to be getting stale.
A encyclopaedic suitableness program tailored to an solitary will very likely core on one or more clear-cut skills, and on age-[3] or health-related needs such as bone health.[4] Innumerable sources[citation needed] also cite disposition, sexual and heartfelt fettle as an substantial vicinity of whole fitness. This is again presented in textbooks as a triangle made up of three points, which show physical, poignant, and psychotic fitness. Incarnate good shape can also avert or treat many long-lived well-being conditions brought on by unhealthy lifestyle or aging.[5] Working out can also remedy people snore better. To stay sturdy it is consequential to agree in material activity.
Training
Unique to or task-oriented [url=http://www.pella.pl]fitness[/url] is a human being's ability to perform in a identified with activity with a sound efficiency: as example, sports or military service. Spelled out training prepares athletes to put on stream in their sports.
Examples are:
400 m sprint: in a sprint the athlete should be trained to work anaerobically throughout the race.
Marathon: in this wrapper the athlete ought to be trained to being done aerobically and their endurance ought to be built-up to a maximum.
Scads blazing fighters and patrol officers undergo regular fitness testing to end if they are skilled of the physically hard tasks required of the job.
Members of the Collective States Army and Army Governmental Convoy have to be skilled to pass the Army Material Competence Try out (APFT).
