Steve "Slug" Russell (born 1937) is an American computer scientist most famous for creating ''Spacewar!'', one of the earliest video games. ==Biography== Russell wrote the first two implementations of Lisp for the IBM 704. It was Russell who realized that the concept of universal functions could be applied to the language. By implementing the Lisp universal evaluator in a lower-level language, it became possible to create the Lisp interpreter (previous development work on the language had focused on compiling the language).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 History of Lisp )〕 He invented the continuation to solve a double recursion problem for one of the users of his Lisp implementation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Steve "Slug" Russell )〕 In 1961, Russell created and designed ''Spacewar!'', with the fellow members of the Tech Model Railroad Club at MIT, working on a DEC Digital PDP-1. The precise origin of the "concept" of computer-based games in general has been debated. ''Spacewar!'', however, was unquestionably the first to gain widespread recognition, and it is generally recognized as the first of the "shoot-'em' up" genre. Russell also provided technical support for Bill Gates and Paul Allen as they learned how to program computers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Steve Russell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
