Ok, for my next compsci FP, I wanna do duck hunt and build one of those light guns that you shoot the screen with. I've been doing a bit of reasearching on how to make one. Anyone know how to? Would I be able to make one?

just find one from snes and hook that up to a parallelport, would save you a lot of trouble.

as for how it works... isn't it basically external whatdotcolour type of thing? I'm not sure though.

in terms of duckhunt it is very simple.

When you shoot the gun the screen will briefly flash white, and a square around the duck does not. This way the gun does not have to be so precise.

If you are making duckhunt I reccomend you make it that way because my opinion is if you're going to make a classic game it should be as close to the origional as possible.

The best part was you could hold paper over the gun and it would think you were shooting the duck Wink
