display circular, Romero asked. “This has to do with history of digital,” Runescape GoldRussell said. The engineers who started digital equipment had started on MIT programs for defense. “One of the things they had was a simple CRT display, called Whirlwind,” which was made in 1951. They had a program called the bouncing ball. They pushed a spot off the top of the wall, had it bounce realistically off the screen or into a hole and disappear, which was key to getting more funding for future projects.The tube in the display was used in WWII in radar. “If a dot moves, it leaves a trail behind it with the decay, and that's what you want because that's the airplane you're interesting,” he said. Since the PDP-1 needed a display, “it became a stepping stone from Whirlwind,” he said.The display dictated how the code had to run, because for 50 microseconds you got a spot on the screen, but it decayed rapidly. “So if you wanted a fix object, you had to keep displaying it,” he said. That was enough time to give gravity to the ships, but “we didn't have time to determine the affect of gravity on the torpedoes,” he said, “so we decided they were photon torpedoes.”Russel put all the big changeable variables like size of torpedoes and ships in the first page of code, so people could change them if they wanted. There was no software protection, after all. “About half the PDP1s went into universities,” Russell said. “Some people actually got copies of the code and translated it into the computers they had, and others just said 'oh!' and wrote one of their own.”Romero, well-versed in the concept of mods through his time at id Software, points out that this was the first mod community. “While you're making the Runeacape game, the 'expensive planetarium' was kind of a mod,” he asserts.“Oh yeah!” recalls Russell. “One of the lessons is that Runeacape games were always collaborative.
