Something like neverball or neverput would be really cool.

Re: Marble Maze (was: Re: A few questions about the games)
Actually, some fellow students made this game using the accelerometer of a wiimote. The physics is pretty basic, just som acceleration vectors depending on the tilt of the wiimote. As far as I remember they did not tilt the board but the camera to get the same effect. Can be seen in this movie (about 40 sec into the movie): http://youtube.com/watch?v=uHyfPzCe5OE&feature=user Ak 2008/5/13 ian douglas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Joe Pfeiffer wrote: > > > http://www.amazon.com/none-CAR190-Labyrinth/dp/B0ISLL > > > > > Yeah, that's exactly the game I'm thinking of.

I'll have a look around, see if I can find an existing game -- no sense reinventing the wheel when all we're adding to it is accelerometer controls instead of buttons etc. -id ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
