I had nothing better to do and I have a cheap $2
laser pointer. So I thought of a game. Feedback is
appreciated.

Laser Pointer Sniper Game
NOTE:
LASER POINTERS ARE DANGEROUS! Read:
http://www.laserinstitute.org/publications/safety_bulletin/laser_pointer/
http://www.hps.org/hpspublications/articles/laser.html
So follow safety procedures!!!
NEEDED:
Low-power laser pointers (>5mw) (Red, green etc.)
Various inanimate objects of various sizes and
distances to serve as targets. The targets
should be in a location that is safe and no
one can accidentally walk into the "line of
fire." Also, make sure the targets are not
highly reflective.
(Optional) 3rd party spotter to confirm 'hits'.
----
The objective is simple: Hit the targets by
tapping the laser pointer switch and hold it for
a half second or less without moving the 'dot'
closer to the target while 'shooting'.
Basically, you "point-and-shoot".
If the dot is on the 'target', then that counts
as a 'hit'.
If available, the spotter should be behind you to
confirm the 'hits'.
POSSIBLE VARIATIONS:
Pick 6 targets and number them 1 to 6. Roll a dice
to determine the target to be 'hit.'
Pick a target to hit. The 'Shooter' is then given
5 seconds to take aim and 'shoot'.
Assign more points to targets based on
side/distance. More difficult
(smaller/farther) targets have more
points.
