Hi all, I'm looking to develope a freePIE plugin for the PS Move and navigator.
Most of my coding experience has been in Java, so this is kinda new to me.
I'm not sure how far I'll get, but I'm looking through the move framework http://code.google.com/p/moveframework/ right now.
Has anyone started on this yet? Any hurdles I should know about?

I'll be getting the hardware next week, so I want to try and get something together by then so I can jump right into implementation when it arrives.

(PS - I'm new to the forums here, I'm excited to contribute what I can.)

Great to have you. The Move would be great to have in FreePIE. The engine and the GUI code is hard to follow if you are new to C# I would concentrate just on the plugins. There are several plugins now with different implementation designs to reference, so you should be able to find one that closely matches the way that you intend to write it.

You can use C# Express to load the solution, but it will give you lots of project loading errors on the unit tests. Just ignore them. The main project should load and compile fine.

Welcome to the forum!
You can look here for help about developing plugins for FreePIE

edit: Btw, put this in the Core plugin project and inherit from the Plugin base class, this fits perfect to have as a core plugin

I just got back from my trips, and I now have hardware. I'll start working on this tonight.

Cool! Just let us know if you run into problems

edit: Also make sure to fork the Git repo from the start so you are backed up with versioning from the get go

I've never used github before so let me know if i get something wrong.
First steps will be familiarizing myself with the move framework sdk, so I won't actually be touching freePIE until I'm comfortable with what I'm working with.
