Wii Lightsaber simulator

Please, for the love of god- why has this not been done?

a light saber app. select color and style. swing.

please.

Sounds awesome/

if MotionPlus can be incorporated (is this possible yet, I've seen no homebrew using it?), this would be AWESOME!!

I would totally try this! For those without Wii MotionPlus like me, please have it optional. Yeah I know the light saber movement will be less accurate, but still.

if possible, sounds great...not sure if Dev kit pro has any motion plus software

That would be really cool. I can't believe that no one has thought of this before.....

It's funny, when I was reading about motion plus, I thought the exact same thing....

i cant wait to be the next "embarrassing lightsaber youtube kid" with this. somebody get to work!!

Wiiuse already has wiimotion plus support

Forget just a simple "for fun" app... Why not make an entire game out of it? Possibly without MotionPlus, if possible... Why not have a story and all that and make a game that you actually swing the lightsaber to fight? Maybe add an arena mode where you just fight waves of enemies or a free play mode where you just swing the saber around... And of course, color selection and possibly style, such as light whip, curved saber, etc. It would be similar to the Harry Potter games on the Wii, but the Wiimote would be a lightsaber instead of a wand. Or is there a real Star Wars game where you can already do this?

Sure. Grab me about 10 college educated programmers, 7 designers, 15 artists, 2 sound artists, (all of which are willing to work full time for free) and a large sum of cash (for development tools for each person) and I'll do it!!!

Lol, thats, like, way too complex and time consuming. Hehe, you may as well go buy one of those star wars games that are on the market (Force Unleashed?).

I think if it were just an app that had:

Customizable Backgrounds
Choose the color of your saber
Swing it around

That would be good enough for me. :)

It was just an idea... I thought it might be cool... No need to throw a fit.

No, the problem is that you repeatedly ask for laughably illogical things to happen on Wii. Believe it or not, this forum is not for speculation and "That'd be cool"s and "I wish"s but instead to jump-start projects.

I realize that. I try to offer good ideas, but as a person who is still learning to program, I cannot determine what would work and what would not, especially on a system I haven't the foggiest idea how to program for.
