Alright so I'm two things right now. First I am a gamer. Second, I am a student. Being a student in university has led me to make many presentations involving my laptop using PowerPoint. There were many times that I would have prefered to move around while making the presentation but I did not have that ability as I was chained to my laptop to press the next button.
Wireless presenters are generally $100+ so I built my wireless presenter around the functionality of a Logitech one. Actually it even exceeds it in functionality.
The script is written for GlovePIE. You will need the GlovePIE program as well as a compatible Bluetooth adapter. I am releasing this script on GBATemp first so consider it a GBATemp exclusive
*hopes to get on the front page*

The script has the capability to advance the slides, go back a slide, override the mouse, start the presentation, end the presentation, blackout and white out the screen and give a vibration at a certain time to warn you when you're low on time. I don't think everyone here has a use for it, but if any of you is the aspiring business student or make presentations regularly. I think you'll find this very useful. By walking around the room instead of being chained to a laptop gives you a big plus in your credibility.
Notes, you are free to use this code in any way you wish but please give credit to where its due. Thanks.

//PowerPoint Presentation Script
//by Jeffrey "Renegade_R" Lee
//
// ---== Rumble Time Reminder ==---
// SET TO 1 IF YOU WOULD WOULD LIKE A WARNING ON TIME REMAINING!!
var.timer = 0
// IF TIMER IS SET TO 1, HOW MANY ** MINUTES ** IS YOUR PRESENTATION ?
var.time = 10
// IT WILL WARN YOU WHEN YOU HAVE X MINUTES OF TIME LEFT (explanation below)
var.remain = 2
//Note, the timer will not activate if your remaining time is greater than
//your presentation time.
// ---== Comments ==---
//
//This program is designed to be a cheap alternative to a wireless presenter.
//
//The program has the capability to change slides, override the mouse, begin,
//end, Whiteout, Blackout and low time vibration warning.
//The vibration warning will vibrate the Wiimote briefly when you have a
//certain amount of time remaining. For example, if you set var.time to 10
//and var.remain to 2, the Wiimote will warn vibrate at the 8 minute mark
//telling you that you have 2 minutes of the presentation remaining. I would
//have built a timer into the Wiimote LEDs but...well, lets say I'd save you
//from distracting your audience, remember everyone loves blue lights.;)
//
//The timer will not activate until you hit the 'Home' button to start the
//presentation.
//
//I designed this script simply because I wish I had this program in my years
//at univeristy as it would have helped me a lot when I made presentations.
// ---== Controls ==---
//A Button -> Previous Slide
//B Trigger -> Next Slide (There was a lawsuit about this one actually :wink:)
//Home Button -> Being Slide Show
//1 + 2 Buttons -> End Slide Show
//1 Button -> White out the screen
//2 Button -> Black out the screen
//Arrows -> Move Mouse
//Minus Button -> Left Click
//Plus Button -> Right Click
