Duck Hunt
How does Duck Hunt for NES work exactly?
I’m trying to figure out how Duck Hunt knows where you aim when you fire the lightgun. I recall being younger and holding the gun to the tv and shooting the ducks/clay directly and the screen would flash where I shot. How does the game know where you aim?
on wikipedia:
When the trigger was pulled, the game blanked out the screen with a black background for one frame, then, for one additional frame, drew a solid white rectangle around the sprite the user was supposed to be shooting at. The photodiode at the back of the Zapper would detect these changes in intensity and send a signal to the NES to indicate whether it was over a lit pixel or not. A drop followed by a spike in intensity signaled a hit. Multiple sprites were supported by flashing a solid white rectangle around each potential sprite, one per frame.
