TUTOR programming language
Encyclopedia : T : TU : TUT : TUTOR programming language
The TUTOR programming language is a language developed for use on the PLATO system at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign around 1965. TUTOR was initially designed by Paul Tenczar for use in computer assisted instruction (CAI) and computer managed instruction (CMI) (in computer programs called "lessons") and has many features for that purpose. For example, TUTOR has powerful answer-parsing and answer-judging commands, graphics, and features to simplify handling student records and statistics by instructors. TUTOR's flexibility, in combination with PLATO's computational power (running on what was considered a supercomputer in 1972), also made it an ideal language for the creation of many non-educational lessons -- that is, games -- including flight simulators, war games, dungeon games (such as dnd), card games, and word games.
