GlovePIE for P.B. Winterbottom
In the past week, I’ve been buying a ton of sub-$3 games from Steam’s summer sale. A few of them, as expected, were primarily designed for consoles so they don’t control as well as you might hope on a keyboard.
So,.. I finally got my old bluetooth dongle working in Win7 and got to toying with GlovePIE. The first game I wanted to set up was The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom. This is a puzzle game at heart, but being that it’s presented in the form of a 2d platformer, using a Wiimote was a natural control solution.
This scheme uses the Wiimote on it’s side like an NES controller. Movement is handled by the d-pad, jump with 2, swing your umbrella with 1, record clones with the b-button, and pause with the + button.
