Left 4 Dead PC Wiimote hack for the gamer who has it all, hates zombies

[wraggster]

Sometimes inspiration hits when you're shooting zombies -- and often times, that inspiration is in the form of new, better ways to shoot zombies. Since this sort of thing (shooting zombies) is one of our passions here, we were pretty psyched when we ran across this video. Summoning all of his worldly resouces -- including GlovePIE, PPJoy, and about a gazillion lines of code -- this guy is able to rock Left 4 Dead PC in split-screen mode with two Wiimotes. He's even added shake controls for reloading and spinning 180 degrees. The only catch? As it stands, the only way to power the sensor bar is by turning on the Wii -- a condition that should be remedied shortly. Hit the read link for instructions and code, and be sure to check out the video after the break.

Jus place a couple of lighted candles and save yourself from having to turn on the wii for the sensor

Or

Get/build yourself a wireless sensor bar. Only 6 IR leds hooked up to a couple of AA batteries and a switch. Something that takes no more than 15 minutes to build or buy
