It concerns the last paragraph of the duck hunt article
http://www.giantbomb.com/duck-hunt/61-2758/

I tried my best to explain it as clearly as possible, perhaps some of the thing i say are not as clear as they could be.

I think it makes sense, but you could touch up upon some words (such as 2nd Second), and the obvious, grammar mistakes such as forgetting to capitalize and such. But overall, I think it explains it pretty well.

The first thing I noticed was that the first letter of the first sentence is not capitalized.

I also think the whole explanation in that article is overdone. It's not even close to as complicated as the article makes it seem.

It's not well formatted and grammatical errors are rampant, but it makes sense.

I must say, I am not well versed in the technical aspects of Duck Hunt, but I can help with a few spelling and grammatical changes. So, I would change it too:

Lets imagine that there is a duck at pixel B and that you are aiming correctly. You press the trigger, the screen turns black and then then screen starts to become white. After two seconds pixel B will become white, the light gun will send a positive signal to the NES. The NES knows that the duck was at pixel B and that after you pulled the trigger it took 2 seconds before the signal came from the light gun. By doing some calculations, then game can show the duck being gunned down. Using this technique Duck Hunt was able to put more than one duck on screen at a time.


Now, if anything is factually wrong with that, then my bad, change it back, but I hope that helped! =)

Yes, that's better.

As for facts, Endogene got it perfectly. Nothing wrong there.

Cool, I just wanted to make sure I hadn't changed anything while messing with stuff that made it incorrect.
