| How do those gun things work... |
     |
This question has always bothered me... ever since the days of duck hunt... but how do those guns work? many ideas have flown through my head... some sort of gyroscope thing? a laser? a camera on the inside that detects what your aiming at? i have no idea... and it bothers me...
food for thought

Hmm... good question i thought that myself, i remember when i got my nintendo, it came with the gun and everytime i played duck hunt i used to shoot the gun in my face too see if i saw some kind of light i never saw anything, could it have been radioactive? It probably explains my tough times in school never really learned much, probably fucked up my brain.

there are two ways. The more common and more advanced method is that when you pull the trigger, two things happen. The screen goes entirely black, and a white line starts being drawn left to right one row at a time on the TV. This happens very fast (much too fast to see), and as soon as the gun detects a reflection back (from the white reflecting the IR beam) it can calculate the position you're shooting at based on how long it took to detect a return. It then transmits this info back to the console, which determines whether or not you have a hit. Pretty cool stuff...

Blacking out the screen, and painting the targets white, so that if the light gun is pointed at a valid target it will return a signal. The problem is that if you have several valid targets it's tough to distinguish them.
Apparently some systems even used a binary system: half the screen would flash white, once it knew which hald you were pointed at it split that half into black/white halves, etc. until pinpointed.
