Question

How does the Virtual Guns system track and compare gun performance? What metric, what detection method, when to switch, and how does cold start work?

Resolution

Rolling window hit rate, wave-based detection, always-fire-best.

Metric: Rolling window hit rate over last N=100 virtual shots. Forgets stale data, adapts to opponent strategy changes.
Detection: Wave-based — track expanding circle at bullet speed, check if enemy crosses at predicted angle. O(1) per tick per wave.
Switching: Always fire whichever virtual gun has the highest rolling hit rate. No threshold logic.
Active gun runs as a virtual gun too — it competes on equal footing with all others. Loaded champion starts in the active slot but earns its place through hit rate like everyone else.
Cold start: On true first encounter (no weights), gun is silent until GA produces first champion. On rematch, loaded weights fire from tick 1.

No separate real-bullet accuracy tracking. One unified system.
