ELI5: How did Duck Hunt for the NES know where you were pointing the gun?
gpt
When you pull the trigger the screen goes completely black, and after a white box appears where the duck is. The light gun is just a light detector. It looks at the black screen and if it sees the white box after is registers it as a hit and the duck dies. This process happens in less than a second so you may not notice it without looking for it.
