Hello,
I was wondering what people would think of this? Is it a practical idea? Wii Homebrew is relativly easy to code, so would a Battle.NET bot be a good idea?
Thanks,

It would be a nice proof of concept, but the logistics of typing on the wii would make it not worth while IMO. Unless I havent seen a easy keyboard on the wii.

I know libosk (on screen keyboard) exists for easy input. There is also Usb keyboard support

Show me the SDK, buy me a WII, and i'll have a functioning bot by christmas. {Hey, give me some time to lear the SDK .. and play twilight princess :P}

He said to learn the SDK and play Twilight Princess, not to write the bot. He can write a bot in less than half an hour (I know, because I can, and he's faster than me).

I was always curious if you could intergrate a bot into a vista gadget or.. even get it on Iphone or like my phone the LG DARE.

maybe even ps3 since i hear its linux?

I thought of the idea of writing a Battle.net bot for the iPhone. However, due to working so many hours I don't really have the time. Not to mention I doubt very many people at all would use it.

It would be a cool concept to have a bot in a Vista gadget, a Leopard widget, iPhone, etc. if it were specifically designed for the particular device/software so that it could take advantage of all functionality.

I remember looking into writing a vista gadget that'd connect to irc. I didn't do too much research on the subject, but I seem to recall it not being very practical, or possible. I'm not sure, though. If gadgets can create connections for website data, or grabbing the weather, etc, I don't see why having it connect to irc would be much different.

I know absolutely nothing about Vista gadgets, and I'm sure a huge reason why is that I use Leopard. But, if there are existing gadgets accessing web data then creating an IRC client should be the same concept. Both use TCP. I'd imagine it would just be a matter of learning the SDK (or whatever might be used in Vista gadgets' case) in order to accomplish this task.

Allegedly this Gadget can do irc. I'm not on Vista right now, so I can't confirm that. Poking around in the gadget, though, the images have such terms as "IRC" and stuff in them. Look's promising, at least as a proof on concept.
