You're developing a boss encounter in a 3D platformer game, and the boss has 15 different attacks. The game designers have asked you to make sure that the player sees as many of those 15 attacks as possible during the encounter, and that he seldom or never sees the same attack twice in a row. What are some ways you can do this? What does the attack selection algorithm look like in this case? Keep in mind that not all attacks are possible all the time -- for example, the boss has a melee attack that he can only do when the player is very close, and a bombardment attack he can only do when the player is far away.

The attack selection algorithm could be implemented using a priority queue or a weighted random selection. Here's an example of how it might look:
1. Initialize a list with all 15 attacks, each marked as 'unused'.
2. When the boss is about to perform an attack, select the next one from the list. If the list is empty, start again from step 1.
3. Mark the selected attack as 'used'.
4. If the player's position meets the conditions for the selected attack (e.g., close for melee, far for bombardment), perform the attack. Otherwise, choose a new attack from the list.
5. After a certain number of attacks have been used (let's say 10), shuffle the list to increase the chances of previously 'unused' attacks being selected.
6. If the boss has a cooldown period for each attack, wait until the cooldown is over before marking the attack as 'unused' again.
