Wii Play The Drums Takes the Next Step
|
After a long incubation, the instrument that launched this blog is finally taking the next step.
The project has been moved to CodePlex, to allow more collaborative development, and to get more developers involved with the code. If you want to download the latest version of Wii Play the Drums, or check out the source code, then you will have to head over to the Wii Play the Drums site on CodePlex.
This move was spurred by sizable contributions from a new developer, Andre Knight. Andre has brought many new features to the software, and has agreed to moderate the development process on the CodePlex site. Here are the latest additions from Andre:
-Added support for use of two Wiimotes, thanks to Brian Peek for updating the WiimoteLib to support multiple Wiimotes
-Re-designed and more intuitive GUI
-Added better support to find wiimotes connected via bluetooth
-Added more sounds to sound library
-Added functionality to be able to record your “Wii Play The Drums” drum session and play it back.(Vista users will need to enable their recording devices for this to work. By default, Vista has recording devices disabled and hidden.)
-Added more Wiimote gesture + buttons combinations
-Added a basic metronome
Here's a shot of the new GUI.
So now is the time to get involved! If you have wanted to contribute code to this project, or just tell us how you think it should work, hit the Wii Play the Drums site on CodePlex, and leave us a message in the forums.
Please thank Andre in the comments!

You need to run the program combatibility wizard. Start/control panel/programs/use an older program with this version of windows. then on the settings set it to run with XP and run as administrator. That's all you need to do to run it on Vista.
