Leveltool is a simple level for the Wii. Place the remote on a flat surface and press the A button to calibrate the level. After calibration, simply place the remote on the surface you wish to straighten out.
Leveltool is a basic leveling tool for the Wii. The idea for this tool came from needing a spirit level at home, but not having one. It initially started as a simple replacement, but over time it developed into something more akin to a protractor.


Missing a spirit level at home, I decided to use the Wiimote as a replacement. Over time, this tool evolved to something more like a protractor.
