ZitatI have done a quick update to test wiimote, keyboard and mouse support under SDL and wiilinux, using cwiid and wminput. This is a test version, to see if wmintput is good enough to manage wiimote events, or if i have to look for another option (implement the wiimote envents inside SDL). At this moment, wiimote works pretty well, i didn´t added support for nunchuck nor classic controller, but it should work in a future.
The good point of cwiid is that it enables to access to the wiimote events already translated in keyboard, joystick or mouse events, but it is still limited in some ways. If this version of opentyrian is good enough, i will try to grow up its functionalities.

__________________
This is a wii adaptation of TYRIAN, the game edited by Eclipse and published by
Epic MegaGames.The original game was programmed by Jason Emery, illustrated by Daniel
Cook, and its music composed by Alexander Brandon and Andreas Molnar.
This port is based on OpenTyrian project code (http://code.google.com/p/opentyrian/),
maintained by mindless2112, syntaxglitch,emacs.hacker, yuriks.br.
To implement the wiimote controls i have used the cwiid library and the wminput program
The keyboard and mouse support has been added using "libSDL 1.2.8"updated from a patch found
in the fdoXsdl project for gamecube.
This README file was based on the README found on the OpentyriamPSP project.
