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.
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.
Note: If you use C++ and want to use GRRlib for drawing, you might want to have a look at the 'Draw' class (Draw.cpp & Draw.h). This thing kept me sane :-)
Installation
Download & extract the archive, and place it in your apps folder on your SD card so the Homebrew Channel can find it.
Usage
Put the wiimote on a surface you want to use as a reference and press A.
This will start a calibration for minimum and maximum values of your Wiimote, afterwards you can put it on a target surface to see the difference in inclination.

- Chg: GRRlib is now responsible for all drawing needs. (Which means: more eye-candy)
- Add: Raw acceleration values in the debug info text
- Add: Freeze function on pressing Plus to freeze current values - this is interesting if you cannot see your screen.
v0.4:
