Carla Meninsky

«Ero un po' un'artista e da qualche parte lungo la strada avevo avuto l'idea che i computer potessero essere usati per l'animazione e per gli artisti»

Carla Meninsky (...) è un'avvocata, ex designer e programmatrice di videogiochi (attiva durante i primi anni dell'Atari VCS[2]) statunitense.

Una tra le prime disegnatrici di videogiochi, insieme a Carol Shaw (creatrice di 3-D Tic-Tac-Toe e River Raid), Meninsky fu una delle tre ingegnere di Atari, Inc. a sviluppare cartucce per videogiochi.[3] In seguito diventò avvocata specializzata in proprietà intellettuale.

Biografia

La madre di Meninsky era essa stessa programmatrice. Carla imparò la programmazione al liceo, e iniziò la sua carriera universitaria presso la Stanford University studiando matematica e passando prima alla neuropsicologia che le sembrava più eccitante[4] e infine alla modellazione del cervello. Data la sua inclinazione artistica, Meninsky era particolarmente interessata alla capacità visiva e alla fine tornò alla programmazione e al sogno di una vita di creare strumenti di animazione.[4]

Imparate le basi del Fortran da sua madre durante il liceo, sviluppò l'interesse per l'animazione al computer.[4]

Atari, Inc.

Meninsky entrò in Atari dopo essersi laureata in psicologia alla Stanford University.

Per Atari 2600 scrisse il gioco di corse del 1980 Dodge 'Em (simile al coin-op Head On del 1979 di SEGA), un porting del 1981 di Atari Warlords e la versione 2600 di Star Raiders (originariamente progettata da Doug Neubauer per Atari Famiglia a 8 bit).[4] In seguito lavorò ad una versione di Tempest che non fu mai rilasciata, anche se esistono dei prototipi.[5]

Studio legale

Meninsky lavorò per Electronic Arts (EA) e altri editori di giochi e alla fine fondò la sua società di programmazione che ebbe successo. Nel corso della stesura dei contratti e vedendo i diritti di proprietà intellettuale ignorati da alcune società, si interessò al diritto di proprietà intellettuale.[4]

Meninsky si laureò alla George Washington University Law School e esercita la professione nel campo della legge sulla proprietà intellettuale.[6] In qualità di membro del programma EPIC per le opportunità di interesse pubblico, Meninsky testimoniò davanti al Senato degli Stati Uniti nel 2002.[7]
