Hve you guys seen this? (control TP with motion)

This is cool :D and it works have played a little tuxracer by moving my TP around in the air.

though you should be carefull to control yourself, not throwing it around like the wee controler :D

neverball game?

Yeah, did you read the whole page regarding this game? The newer version for neverball does not have this MSCVR71.dll file. You must to download the file from somewhere.
Windows users NOTE: The Windows binary packages include all necessary DLLs for SDL and its related libraries. However, some of the game binaries were build using Visual Studio 7.1, and may require MSVCR71.DLL. These packages do not provide this DLL. It maybe acquired by installing the .Net Framework, Office .Net, or Visual Studio .Net.
USER EDIT: zaku, can you check to see which files you do not have from this screen shot. http://img402.imageshack.us/my.php?imag ... d01oz4.gif

*I can play the game so i took a screenshot of the files i have in the neverball game and let you check yours.*

Download this file: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-f ... ml?msvcr71

and later extract the file from the zip folder, cut and paste the MSVCR71.DLL into the tuxracer folder.

Play! :-)

I remember something like this a year or two ago on my PowerBook G4 12", it was a game that used the motion sensor to bounce a ball around a bit like a pinball.

Very clever stuff. I'm sure it's already been put to use but think of how great that would be as an accessibility device, shake the left to say No, shake to the right to say yes etc.

I hope someone's implemented that otherwise I need to file myself a patent like--yesterday :D
