Build your own Spacewar game on Ready!

Spacewar is one of the oldest computer games, dating from MIT in 1962.  In this Ready tutorial you'll build a 21st Century version of this classic in about two hours.  Along the way, you'll become an adept Ready maker.  And you'll have fun!

We recommend you play the tutorial video side by side with the Ready recipe book (Google slides, which can also be saved as PDF if you desire).
