[ut3] Unreal Tournament 3 and Gears of War Linux Status

[tom61 61]

Wiimote + Nunchuk fairs fairly well in FPSes on the Wii. Main problem
is that your arms get tired after a short period playing, until you
get used to it. However, weapon switching would be an issue, as UT has
a fair number of weapons all with specific uses (more or less) and the
Wiimote even with a Nunchuk doesn't have many buttons to be able to
get to a weapon quickly.

Just FYI, it will work with candles, but different types will work
better or worse, depending on how steady the flame is. I'd go with an
IR LED or two (the Wiimote can calculate position with only one point,
tilt with two)

Back to the main subject: I hope something will come down the pike
soon with regards to a Linux port of the client and server.
