Homebrew is there a etch a sketch

[Gobbio]

just wondering if anyone has made a etch a sketch game using the balance board, ive seen they were planning on making it into a game but it looks like it was canceled

Hmm...I'm not trying to mock you, but...did you hear about this on april 1st?


You see, the wii balance board "only" has 3 touch sensors (or even 2...I can't be bothered to look it up right now). That's enough for measuring your weight and stance on the board, but by far not enough to actually use it as an etch a sketch tablet. It's just too imprecise.

you could easily make something that draws lines as you shift your weight from left to right/forward/backwards though...
