<h2>burst geometry</h2>
	<notes>
	At the start of every burst, we pick a random point near the target to fire at, on either the left or the right side. The burst origin angle controls whether this error is exactly horizontal or might have some vertical component.
	Over the course of the burst, we move our projectiles back in the opposite direction towards the target. This return motion is also controlled by an anle that specifies how close to the horizontal it is.
	For example, if the burst origin angle and the burst return angle were both zero, and the return length was the same as the burst length, every burst would start the same amount away from the target (on either the left or right) and move back to exactly over the target at the end of the burst.

<h2>firing patterns</h2>
	<notes>
	A firing pattern lets you modify the properties of an actor's burst geometry. Actors choose which firing pattern to use based on their current state:
		'new-target' when the target just appeared,
		'moving' when the actor is moving,
		'berserk' if the actor is berserk.
	If none of these apply, no firing pattern is used.
	The default values in teh burst geometry are multiplied by any non-zero modifiers in the firing pattern.
