Nerf brand blasters, alternative-brands, modifications, community made designs, competitive wars, Humans vs. Smartphone laser tag guns and their apps will need to evolve continuously with that smartphone market, otherwise they will end up being outdated and incompatible.

But because, the library can only identify a limited set of “standard” IR patterns, it also includes a way of identifying any signal, even an unknown one by generating a 32 bit “hash” of the sequence.
