What is the best library to manage a wiimote? [closed]

Question

There are many libraries that manage the wiimote but I am looking for the "best" one, or at least that has the following features:

• open-source
• portable (at least Win32 and Linux)
• written and usable in c or c++
• good coverage of wiimote devices

I rely on people that already used such library. Google is good source of information but it doesn't know which one is best library.

Answer 1

if you will use multiple wiimotes, don't use wiiuse library. i am working on a stereo system with two wiimotes using wiiuse library but wiiuse made me crazy( it gives delayed ir tracking data ) and i decided to change my library wiiuse from wiiyourself

Answer 2

Some friends of mine have had good luck with wiiuse. It's in C, for both Windows and Linux.

Have you seen this:

It may not be exactly what you are asking for, but with Mono you'll have the cross platform part of it.

the second one is for C# and VB.NET :( – Hokum

and the first one too :( – Hokum

thanks for the downvote. Why can't you use C++ to access it? – Mccomas

Tim, you've mentioned that you can use Mono to compile. And you can reference from pretty much anything. I think that downvote was unfair. – Gish

Answer 4

What about Johnny Chung Lee - it's .Net but it's open source and could converted.

Answer 5

I think this might be what your looking for:

http://wiiuse.sourceforge.net/

Open-sourced, multi-platform and written in C/C++. They are looking for a OSX developper though, so I'm guessing it doesn't support it yet.

Answer 6

Maybe https://github.com/MJL85/wiiuse will do? Seems to have a lot of features and supports Windows and Linux, AND it is c.
