Nimatron





In 1940, Nimatron was created - a computer electronic relay game machine for playing nim. It is considered the first computer that was intended for entertainment. This device was developed by the American physicist Edward Condon in the winter of 1939/1940, and was first demonstrated at the World's Fair in New York in 1940. The device was assembled by Edward Condon and his assistants Gerald Tawney and Willard Derr. On September 24, 1940, a patent was issued for the device. In 1941, an improved version of the Nimatron was created by Raymond Redheffer. In 1947, a game was created on a cathode ray tube (CRT). This device is considered the first developed electronic game, as well as the first game with a CRT screen. The game was created by Thomas T. Goldsmith, Jr. and Estle Ray Mann, who received patent No. 2,455,992 for it on December 14, 1948. In 1948, Alan Turing, together with his former colleague David Champernow, began writing a chess program for a computer that did not yet exist. In 1947, Harry Mabs invented the flipper in the game Pinball, which is considered one of the most fundamental innovations in this genre, changing the approach to game design and the design of game mechanics; Humpty Dumpty is released on this basis.
