Cantascope

Cantascopes are semi-instant use plants that may require manual input. They lob a barrage of seeds in a straight line anywhere on the board.

Overview
Cantascopes, when planted, wait 5 seconds for manual input. If it is not tapped, then it will lock on and attack a zombie automatically. If it is tapped, then the cross-hairs can be aimed by hand.

When firing, be it automatically or manually, the Cantascope releases around 30-40 seeds that each deal one (1) damage point. These seed travel in a straight line to their target, going through and dealing damage to anything in the path. There is some scatter to the seeds, but it never surpasses an extra tile. These seeds, however, can be stopped by Shield Zombie's shield, or anything that can be disabled by an E.M.Peach. They do an extra 0.5 damage to flying foes.

In the time between planting and firing, Cantascope cannot be harmed, but can be dug up. It can, however, be crushed by Gargantuars or pushed by whatever.

It is based on the cantaloupe, and its name is a portmanteau of "cantaloupe" and "scope."
