Description
Between 1959 and 1961, a collection of interactive graphics programs were created for the TX-0 experimental computer at MIT. These included the Mouse in the Maze (Mouse in the labyrinth) and the Tic-Tac-Toe (Three in a row). Mouse in the Maze allowed users to use a stylus to place walls in the maze, dots that represented bits of cheese, and (in some versions) martini glasses. A virtual mouse represented by a dot was then released and moved through the maze to find the objects. Tic-Tac-Toe used the stylus to play a simple game of noughts and crosses against the computer.
