Wiimote: Panzer Dragoon

Panzer Dragoon is an on-rails 3rd person flight shooter, not unlike the Starfox or Silpheed series, and I thought it would be fun to use Wii Remote motions to control the flight and aiming of your dragon/ship in this sort of game.

In this version of the script, the motion controls demand a lot of movement and rotation of the wrist, but that will be addressed in future revisions. Being based entirely on digital commands and emulation of keyboard commands makes the motion less smooth than it would be in a game natively designed around the Wii Remote's motion sensing. The GlovePIE scripting community has come up with some inventive ways of getting a more analog feeling out of such controls, and I'll also look into adopting some of those techniques in future revisions.

You can download the script here, GlovePIE here, and make sure you have a compatible Bluetooth adapter to connect your Wii Remote to your PC. Check out the video after the jump.
