The name of Carl Kenner always brings to mind innovative and seemingly impossible uses for Nintendo's Wiimote. His name is synonymous with GlovePIE, and now, his name is also synonymous with laser tag.

Laser tag, you say? Why yes! After a post began that discussed the possibilities of playing laser tag using the Wiimote, Carl Kenner decided to actually write a full-fledged GlovePIE script for it. Basically, you'd need to strap a Wiimote sensor bar onto your body and the body of your partner, enable the script, ready your Wiimotes, and get to shooting!

As he mentions, you'll need a lot of stuff to pull this off, but it definitely looks fun if you can fulfill the requirements:

• Two wireless sensor bars (or TV remotes or candles or whatever generates infra-red). Each person must wear one on their body somewhere so it won't fall off or break if they run around.
• Two Wii remotes
• One reasonably fast computer with Windows and a Bluetooth adapter with the two wiimotes connected.
• GlovePIE 0.29
• A friend
• A space where you can run around and shoot at each other, that is in range.
• The following GlovePIE script.

For now, we'll link back to the forum post where the script is. You're going to want to read through Carl Kenner's post on the first page if you intend to pull this off. Just remember: if you're doing this in your house, make sure you don't break the Ming vase while you're running around.

We recently checked the blog of one rather industrious script-maker, and we were surprised to see that he had another set of scripts up. Ethan, maker of the Virtua Tennis and Ocarina of Time GlovePIE scripts, came up with another one for DOOM 3, and another script for use with two of the most popular web browsers on the market.

The first script should presumably let you play Doom 3 using a Wiimote, though you'll really need a copy of the game to test it. He does link to a demo of the game for you to test it on, though, so we encourage everyone to give it a try. Also, he's put up another script that allows one to browse the web using Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Windows Explorer, calling it the "WiinExplorer" script for short.

That's some nice little bits of code with a lot of functionality there, and it's good to see people finding even more uses for the controller which some used to think was simply a gimmick.

As always, make sure you have GlovePIE installed so you can use these, and you might want to check the developer's blog of Carl Kenner for instructions on using GlovePIE, as Ethan doesn't have a strict readme for these beyond the basic directions.

Wii remote hacks and exploits are continuously being explored. And while it is possible to "access" your computer via your Wii console, it's quite another thing to actually use the Wiimote to control your PC. And so, Carl Kenner comes into the scene, and he's not letting anyone down with his GlovePIE app.

The said Wiimote-to-PC script that turns the Wii remote into an HID (Human Interface Device) for the PC is now clicked at GlovePIE v0.29. The biggest features of this version is that it now supports Wiimote speakers and the function to minimize the button to the System Tray. The support for the Classic Controller (introduced in the previous version) is now more than just theoretical and finally fully tested to be working.

Here's the full list of changes, tweaks, improvements, and additions included in GlovePIE v0.29:

• Minimize to System Tray button
• Recent Files menu
• OutputToFile( ) function to write values to output.txt
• Division by zero no longer crashes compiler
• Automatically connect Wiimotes when you press 1+2 (bluesoleil only, you need to do it manually with other stacks) Hold Power button to disconnect Wiimote.
• Wiimote speaker supported (single notes only, no wave files)
• Classic Controller support fixed and tested
• Wiimote.SmoothPitch and Wiimote.SmoothRoll now calculate angles without separating out the acceleration, for smooth (but inaccurate) angles when your hand wobbles.
• "Press X" now works without brackets
• "100Hz" now works without space
• Numbers allowed after dot, "Wiimote.1" works like "Wiimote.One"
• Infinity and NaN are now valid numbers.
• Other compiler improvements
• Improved documentation
• More scripts! Play old Zelda, Mario, or Metroid games with the exact same controls as the modern Wii game.
