Your History

The first attempts to implement playful programs "chess programs initially" soon appeared, and were repeated during the following decades. The first modern games appeared in the 60s, and since then the world of video games has continued to grow and develop with the only limit imposed on it the creativity of the developers and the evolution of technology.

The First Game

MISSILE LAUNCH:

In 1947 Thomas T. Goldsmith and Estle Ray Mann patented an electronic game that simulated missile launch against a target was based on radar screens that used the army in the then-recent WWII. The system worked with valves and used a cathode ray screen. Allowed to adjust the speed and the curve of the shot, but the goals were superimposed, there was no movement of video on the screen, it is not considered game.

THREE IN A ROW:

In 1952 Alexander Sandy Douglas presented his doctoral thesis in mathematics at the University of Cambridge (England) on the interaction between humans and computers, the thesis includes the code of the first game safe graphic record, is a version of "Tic Tac Toe "(Tic Tac Toe) for a computer EDSAC, designed and built at the same university. The program took the right decisions at every moment of the game as the movement made by the player, who was using a phone dial wheel incorporating the EDSAC computer. This game is usually treated as a precedent, since it is not really considered a game, but a game computer graphics, because there was no video in motion.

Spacewar:

Space War Steve Russell wrote in 1961 on a PDP-1 computer at MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the birthplace of the hacker culture right at that time. The game was for two players, each driving a spaceship and try to shoot the other also had on display a star whose gravity drew the ships to destroy them if reached. Spacewar code came to numerous computers at other universities and is the first computer game in history.
