GlovePIE Noobie TUT

GlovePIE Tutorial​

About The Author

Well, I've been here for about 2 1/2 years I am an avid gamer and I love music. Im a junior now, a history buff and above all things a geek. One of my friends introduced me to GlovePIE and I have been in love ever since.

What is GlovePIE?

The GlovePIE Programmable Input Emulator (previously known as PIE) emulates input devices by using other input devices.
This means you can use the joystick in a keyboard only game (eg. DOOM3) or the keyboard in a joystick only game (eg. Return Of The King Co-op mode). Or you can control any game with a virtual reality glove. Or you can create macros to do complex moves at the touch of a button (eg. Mortal Kombat). Or you can play musical instruments from your PC.


How To Get It?

Just google it, its a free download and is incredibly small. The package comes with many sample scripts and some that may be useful to you.

So When Are We Going To Get Started?

OK, now for our first program. Open up the GlovePIE window and delete the comment line (// indicates a comment line, which is true for most programming languages). now start with this:

Code:

if a=true then
debug='Hello World'
endif
if a=false then
debug='Apocalypse'
endif

if and then statements will be the thing you use the most, if you begin a statement with if you must end it with a then statement. We have 'if a=true then' that means that something will happen if the A button is being pressed. (True = Being Pressed, False = Not being pressed) Then the 'debug='Hello World' ' means the little debug box at the top right hand corner will say hello world. The endif statment ends the if statement, if you put end then the program assumes you want to end the program and just stops and the next lines are useless. I assume you understand and will not go into detail on the next three lines, it is the same concept except a=false meaning as long as you are not pressing A the debug bar will say Apocalypse.

Lets Make Your PC Talk To You

Open up the program window again and begin this one

Code:

if a=true then
say('Hello')
endif
if a=false then
debug='Good Day'
endif

Here we use the if/then and True/False statements but the second line is diffrent the statment 'say' makes your PC literally say what is in the parentheses. then the next three lines are just the basics of the first program, these are extremely easy to do. Im not going into the things you can do with the WiiMote but if you want you can google GlovePIE tuts for more indepth tuts.

The End?

Yup, sadly its true kidys all good things must come to and end. Thank you for your reads, hope to get some feedback. Please help me help you.

 

What exactly is the GlovePIE? You haven't explained what it was too well.

Just a little tip - when clarifying something which isn't very well know, you should go into depth and make sure the reader knows exactly what you are talking about. If you don't clarify, then the reader is lost throughout the whole guide and gains nothing from it.
