Smalltalk Used to Create Space Wars Game

Posted on by Author Jeremy Jordan in Categories Partners, Smalltalk

David Buck, Founder and CEO of Cincom partner, Simberon, Inc., recently shared a story of how his 11-year-old son, Tyler, wanted to learn how to program so that he could write his own games. Being that Tyler wasn’t content with simplistic, less-complicated games, David told him about a game that he wrote back in the 80’s based on a science-fiction TV series from that time.  As Tyler’s interest grew, the two of them started to work on a “Space Wars” game.

David and Tyler used Smalltalk to write the project, which has been progressing steadily. David has decided to share their experience in a blog post that describes their accomplishments so far as well as a video showing their progress.

In addition to the fact that the project allows father and son to spend quality time together, it also demonstrates Smalltalk’s creative capabilities and versatility.
