[[/CodeSnippets]]
----
First mentioned (i think) by RobocoderDan in the OpeningGame page.
The idea is to:
* Divide the battlefield into sections
* Consider the bots in a section, moving into one, moving away one, etc.
* Take the section with the most bots and fire in that direction
(kinda like a MinimumRiskTargeting thing)
--[[Starrynte]]

Some pros and cons:
* Pros:
** not too hard to implement
** if the bullet misses the intended target, it might hit another
* Cons:
** only works in melee
** not very accurate with fewer bots and/or in larger battlefields
** Even in melee, shooting specifically at closer bots may be more beneficial so they don't kill you :-)
Some ideas:
* might work with a team system (i.e. leader sends radar info, droids fire where there are most bots)
* you might select target where there are the most bots near it (to implement this targeting)

--[[Starrynte]], i'll add to the list when i come up with more

Actually, I think it would be better to section it on angle, and find the angle with the most likely cluster of enemies to mow down. --[[Chase-san]]
