To begin, let me explain that the first video game developer was named William Higinbotham, a physicist who worked in a laboratory in the United States in the 1950s. In 1958, during his workday, he thought that science exhibits were too boring for the public, so he decided to create an interactive game to provide entertainment. In short, he created a video game.

Using an oscilloscope, he created the world's first video game, which was quite simple: Tennis for Two. On the screen, you could see a line that represented the court and a point that represented the ball. Only two people could play with controls that made the ball hit to the opposing side.
Over time, that experiment became one of the first examples of video games in history, and that is why he is remembered today as one of the pioneers of video game development.
