Going Open Source with "Python + Wii = Intuitive Control"

Hey everyone, I have prepared a short document explaining the source code. The document is available along with the rest of the source and presentation files. Click here to download the same. If you are having trouble with the link, you can also visit my talk's page on the PyCon 2010 website and download the files from there. I've recently uploaded all the source onto the PyCon website. Click here to go to my PyCon page.

The documentation is about five pages and takes you through a line by line break down of the code for the first three applications of the presentation. Why only the first three!!!?!?! Well, I feel that they are the one's that lay the foundation of the concepts used in all the other applications. These were also the one's I spent the most time developing, simply as I had no precedents or references to begin with. The others just flowed as my understanding of the PyQt4 framework grew.

The applications which seemed to arouse maximum interest were the two games and the touchless workspace (or the puzzle). Those applications have NOT been covered in this document. I would like you to fathom those on your own. They are not very complicated. Those apps are more about the UI than about the Nintendo Wii. I would like anyone downloading this project to give those applications a shot after having fully understood the basics.

And besides, I'm only an email away ;-) Enjoy the Wii, and remember that you are only limited by your imagination!
