What was programmed in 1962 already by Steve Russell in collaboration with Martin Graetz, Wayne Wiitanen, Bob Saunders, Steve Piner and others?

Right, you know it: Spacewar. Whether it was really the first computer game, is more or less a matter of definition of the term game. In any case it goes down in history as such.

The colleagues of Asociac. RetroAcción have now had a great idea: Why not use the game and its principle as a basis for a programming contest?

The idea is great, because from the game principle certainly some modern incarnations can be derived, and who has desire and time, or simply wants to be inspired, can find the original source code of Spacewars as well as all details of the contest here.
