The '''spinning gun''' is a built-in creature in ZZT that acts as an indestructible turret. It can configured to shoot either [[bullet|bullets]] or [[star|stars]].

The chance of a Spinning Gun shooting on a given tick is <code>P2/9</code>, where <code>P2</code> is <code>Firing Rate - 1</code>.

The direction that the Spinning Gun shoots is determined semi-randomly depending on the gun's intelligence and the [[player|player's]] position. The chance of the gun firing intelligently on a given tick is <code>P1/9</code>, where <code>P1</code> is <code>Intelligence - 1</code>. If it chooses to fire intelligently, it will fire vertically if the player is within 2 tiles on the x axis and the gun is not blocked vertically. Otherwise, it will shoot horizontally if the player is within two tiles on the y axis. If neither condition is met, it will not make an intelligent shot. If the Spinning Gun decides to make a non-intelligent shot instead, then it will randomly fire in one of the [[cardinal directions]].

The Spinning Gun cycles between {{CharSwatch|24}}, {{CharSwatch|26}}, {{CharSwatch|25}}, and {{CharSwatch|27}}, however the direction it fires is completely unrelated to the direction it is visibly pointing.
