1. An electronic game comprising:
- a device that is held or worn by a player, the device including an emitter that emits a signal; and
a housing that includes;
a controller, a detector that detects the signal from the emitter and provides an electrical signal to the controller indicating the location of the emitter, a magazine for storing objects, a fire mechanism coupled to the magazine and controlled by the controller to fire a stored object at the device when the controller determines that the detector has detected an emitted signal from the emitter.

Abstract
An electronic game includes a device that is held or worn by a player, and a housing. The device includes an emitter that emits a signal in response to player input. The housing includes a controller and a detector that detects the signal from the emitter and provides an electrical signal to the controller indicating the location of the emitter. The housing further includes a magazine for storing objects, and a fire mechanism coupled to the magazine and controlled by the controller to fire a stored object at the implement when the controller determines that the detector has detected an emitted signal from the emitter.

18. An electronic game comprising:
-
a device that is held or worn by a player, the device including an emitter that emits an electromagnetic signal in response to player input;
a post;
a housing mounted on the post and including;
a controller, a mechanical rotator coupled to the post and controlled by the controller to rotate the housing relative to the post and toward the emitter;
a detector that detects the electromagnetic signal from the emitter and provides an electrical signal to the controller indicating the location of the emitter, a magazine for storing objects, a fire mechanism coupled to the magazine and controlled by the controller to fire a stored object at the device when the controller determines that the detector has detected an emitted signal from the emitter;
wherein the controller determines that the detector has detected an emitted signal by determining whether a value of the electrical signal remains above a predetermined threshold for a predetermined period of time.
