gollark: Most of my laser-using programs just go for the simple but naive solution of firing toward the current position of whatever's being targeted.
gollark: Huh. That is much more advanced than my brief attempt at improved laser targeting, which just got the target's current position, figured out how long it would take for the laser to reach that, then added that times its velocity to the target position.
gollark: Sadly, for cost and claims-weirdness reasons they are no longer deployed in Keansia.
gollark: I once made traffic lights which shot anything moving too fast with lasers, but didn't exempt lasers from being lased, that was fun.
gollark: > The frickin' laser beam fires a bolt of superheated plasma, a softnose laser, or some other handwavey science. This powerful projectile can deal incredible damage to mobs and blocks alike.So apparently it does lampshade it, yes.
