Bouncing Ball (computer program)

Bouncing Ball was an early interactive computer graphics program developed for the Whirlwind I computer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the early 1950s. Initially created as a physics demonstration simulating the motion of a bouncing ball, the program was later adapted into an interactive game in 1952 or early 1953 through the addition of a target hole in the floor of the display.
