I have never knowingly knitted, nor do I
own a Wii, but both look like fun.
So.
You pick up two Wii remotes, select your
yarn and needle size from the pull-down
menu, and begin to knit.
As the simulated needles click-clack, your
simulated knitwear grows on the screen
before your very
eye.
When you've finished that fetching
cardigan, you can give it to Super Mario or
his brother to wear in his on-screen japes.
Reminds me of

Genius. I've played on a Wii, and although it is indeed great fun (and hard work), it gets a bit tiresome after a while. You need a plethora of different styles of game to keep it interesting. Although I've never knitted, I would gladly challenge someone to a Wii knitting race.[+] |

(+) Export the finished garment to your Mii. |

Nice. I'm not sure about the market for it though, whereas there would be a huge market for Wii Tai Chi - I'm slightly surprised no one's done this yet actually. |

"What have you knitted there dear? It looks like a glove with one finger longer than the other two. Oh my Lord, Timothy, I knew video games would warp your mind." |

"Export the finished garment to your
Mii."
Call it a Mii-shirt. |

Cyclopean knitting always used to be frought with danger, but now Polyphemus' pals can knit away without fear of having their eye out. Huzah! [+] |

Have a knitted croissant. + |

ohmigod. No. The biggest enjoyment derived from knitting comes from creating something tangible from nothing. The act itself is very relaxing and calming, but hardly "fun". |
|
| |
While this is an interesting idea technologically, I think you'd find it to be like videogame sex: not nearly as fun as you might have hoped. |

Noexit: please speak for yourself. |

is it just me or is the 'bakery having a bad case of wii-arrhea? |
|
| |
Don't you mean "diawiia"? |
|
| |
I made a note in my sketch book when I
first saw one of the Wii systems : "Wii
Knots" so I like this + |
|
| |
Learning through muscle memory is baked, but to incorporate the Wii for knitting is brilliant. [+] |

//Noexit: please speak for yourself.// |

Ok. Personally, I think it's interesting. As a person who does both from time to time, I wouldn't want it. But to answer the question "Would other people like this?" I think the answer is "no". Wii-minded people will likely get bored with it fairly quickly. Knitters wouldn't even want to give it a go. |
|
| |
Or, are you saying you find computer simulated sex enjoyable? :) |
|
| |
I find it OK, but those toner cartridges get
bloody hot. That's one mistake I'm not
making again. |
|
| |
I would get this game but the problems with it are obvious. You would soon get bored with it and who would buy it anyway (except me.) Unless you charged £10 for it, no one would buy it. |
|
| |
//and who would buy it anyway (except
me.) Unless you charged £10 for it,//
Well, that's our software development
costs covered. Anything else is pure
profit. |
|
| |
I guess you could charge £15 but people are going to start think you're ripping them off. All your doing is kniiting on the wii and it would be much cheaper. In the long run however, you would be saving yourself some money. It really depends on how you look at at it. |
|
| |
i wonder if the wii has dance notation software yet |
|
| |
See last link. Careful what you post here... ideas are easily harvested, and credit is never given. |
|
| |
Good lord. Well, if "Artist Rachel Beth Egenhoefer" (I
thought that was some sort of piano) or "Scientist Kyle E.
Jennings", then good luck to them. I just hope that guilt
doesn't keep them awake at night, or prompt them to send
me a large cheque to soothe their troubled consciences. |
|
| |
In my experience, they never give you credit or cheques! Check out my idea for "Put Yourself On a Pedestal" then take a look at Antony Gormley's award winning idea for the blank plinth in London's Trafalgar square, then draw your own conclusions. |
|
| |
// then draw your own conclusions.// ......and
coincidentally, MaxComputer is proud to announce its new
integrated spreadsheet-cum-graphics software - viola! |
|
| |
// ideas are easily harvested, and credit is never given |
|
| |
Just because someone else has a similar idea as a post here doesn't mean that they actually copied the post. It's interesting to see the reference, but unless you know for sure that theft took place, let the readers draw their own conclusions from the time stamps and contents. |
|
| |
And no, ideas are not "easily harvested". What is that even supposed to mean? |
|
| |
Harvesting is little different to plagiarism. Even respected, published scientists, writers, politicians and other artists have been found guilty of this. It's pernicious and crosses all disciplines. |
|
| |
Did we not recently witness one of the speeches of former UK Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock being harvested by Joe Biden? (to make one recent high profile example) |
|
| |
I'm quite careful about that which I post here, because of this, but I do find it particularly irritating... but that's my ego problem with which I must deal. |
|
| |
heh, I must be renting the same ego you are... but realistically that's like saying we stole all the ideas we come up with which turn out to have been baked, half-baked or patented already. |
|

An NES version almost made it to reality. See link. |
