The 'GhostGun' Targeting system
The Title says it all. I'm going to try and invent (if it's already been invented, then I'll improve upon it :P ) a new gun called the GhostGun. Theoretically (in my mind anyway) it should be able to adapt to other styles and improve upon itself. But programming such a Gun is going to be extremely time consuming, since it's going to take a lot of testing and blueprints and bugfixing to develop this Gun.
The Idea of the GhostGun
The GhostGun, in theory, will record stats on the Enemy and store them, like Average Velocity and the sort. This will be saved on the HDD so each time GITS kills the Enemy, or the Enemy kills GITS, GITS will be able to improve upon itself slightly. Now, this will be different since robots are different, from movement to what type of gun it uses.
Theoretical Example
GITS battles against Robot_A, which has a WaveSurfing-type movement and a Dynamic Clustering-type Gun. GITS has never been against this robot before, so it creates a new file on the HDD called Robot_A.txt. As they fight, GITS collects data about how Robot_A moves and shoots, and guesses on how it handles scans. More likely than not, GITS will lose. As the first round ends, GITS writes to Robot_A.txt everything it learned. As round 2 starts, GITS recalls this information and starts to dodge bullets and react to movements more effectively. GITS now gathers data on how Robot_A's movement and shooting changes and uses them to create averages. As the rounds continue, GITS becomes smarter and better, creating a strategy that works well against Robot_A.
A couple of Months later, GITS and an Improved Robot_A fight. GITS recalls the Robot_A.txt file on the HDD and uses it in the first round. Since Robot_A has been improved, the file GITS uses is somewhat ineffective. As GITS collects data, it recalculates the parts that have changed and updates the averages, effectively adapting to Robot_A's new style.
Development
The GhostGun is an RCGPL project, which means that you can help develop and test it (and use it too). You can get the Source (in a Sandbox-type Development Area) at the top of the page (the link that says 'Source' :P)
