How to create a Wii Game
Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.
A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.
Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

Well, first of all you have to wait a few years for Nintendo to change their mind and open their platform for indie devs. :-/

Is it possible to create a Wii Game using the Wiimote object?
If so, how do I do this?
The Wiimote object is for use with standalone applications from MMF2, but you need to somehow connect the remote up to the PC.
Most of the conditions and events are pretty self explanatory. For conditions, it has stuff like when the various remotes have been connected, input and for when different features are being used (rumble, remote sound) and then events are things like making it connect or making the remote rumble and detecting the IR position.
A lot of people have't used it because it means you need to somehow connect your Wii remote and console up to a computer.

It will NOT run ON the Wii.
It's for using Wii remotes on the PC, with PC .exe files made with MMF2. Hopefully someone else can explain to you how to use your Wiimotes with your PC. I've never looked into it. -
Bluetooth isn't something you download like Java - you have to purchase a USB Bluetooth dongle and install the drivers that come with it.

Bluetooth dongles can be bought for less than 2GBP, so they're less than a beer and that's not your problem.
Actually, getting a wiimote to talk to a pc can be a bit fiddly at times but generally it's fine.
If you look into the WiiMote Project and the stuff they've done on making an interactive whiteboard (Please login to see this link.) then you'll find all the stuff you need to get Wiimotes and PCs talking to each other.
I'm a (soon to be ex-)teacher and played around with this a couple of years ago - you can use 2 wii remotes and some infra-red pens to make a pretty good replacement for a couple thousand pounds worth of interactive whiteboard (which I always thought were a bit crap and over-hyped anyway).
Hope that helps.
