What was the first computer program gates Allen ever wrote?
While still in high school, Bill Gates used a teletype terminal connected to a 'GE Computer' to write a tic-tac-toe program, according to Wikipedia. Their next computer was a DEC PDP computer, and their programming language was BASIC.
How is computer programming used in computer programming?
Parallax is used in computer programming by using a computer and a USB connection. They have been popular in robotics because of their easiness to program.

Which was the worlds first mini computer?
That is usually credited to the DEC PDP-8
When was the first desktop computer made?
One can probably consider the DEC PDP-8 transistorized minicomputer introduced in 1965 to be a desktop computer. The first PDP-8 model was about the size of a modern compact refrigerator, but later models were significantly smaller (especially when simple monolithic integrated circuits were used instead of discrete transistors).
Who is Peter Samson?
A volunteer at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA that worked on their DEC PDP-1 computer restoration project.While at MIT in the 1960s he worked on several things on their DEC PDP-1 computer:the background moving starfield for Spacewar!computer musicetc.

What was the the first computer game called?
SPACEWAR! (the exclamation mark is part of the name) It ran on a 4K word DEC PDP-1 computer that cost about $120,000. The program was written by Steve Russell at MIT. Torpedos were unaffected by the sun's gravity because he ran out of memory and had to leave out those routines. I was able to witness the reincarnation of SPACEWAR! when I helped the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA restore 1 of their 3 PDP-1s to full operation.
