One of the first desktop computers was the D4A, designed in the 1960s by Professor Nikolaus Joachim Lehmann at the TU Dresden.
One method of connecting to this machine, including data entry and programming, was the use of punched tape. Code was physically generated with these punched strips and interpreted by the desktop computer. Tangible Computing - Retro Reboot offers the possibility to generate code yourself by punching a punched strip and having it interpreted in various ways, whether as animation, calculation instructions or as drum computer input.
