Along with Carol Shaw (creator of 3-D Tic-Tac-Toe and River Raid), Meninsky was one of two female engineers at Atari, Inc. to develop video game cartridges.[2] She later became an intellectual property lawyer. BackgroundMeninsky's mother was a programmer and Carla learned programming in high school, but she switched from mathematics to neuropsychology and brain modelling at Stanford University. Given her artistic bent, Meninsky was particularly interested in vision and eventually veered back toward programming and a lifelong dream of creating animation tools.{{fact|date=October 2017}} She began her college career at Stanford studying math, but eventually switched to psychology because it sounded more exciting.{{fact|date=October 2017}} She learned basic Fortran in high school from her mother, who was a programmer, and through this built an interest in computer animation.[3] Atari, Inc.Meninsky joined Atari after graduating from Stanford University with a degree in psychology. For the Atari 2600 she wrote the 1980 racing game Dodge 'Em (similar to the 1979 Head On coin-op from Sega), a 1981 port of Atari's Warlords, and the 2600 version of Star Raiders (originally designed by Doug Neubauer for the Atari 8-bit family).[3] She later worked on a port Tempest that was never released, but prototypes exist.[4] Law practiceMeninsky worked for Electronic Arts (EA) and other game publishers and eventually started her own successful contract programming company. In the course of writing contracts and seeing intellectual property rights being ignored by some companies, she became interested in intellectual property law.[5] Meninsky graduated from George Washington University Law School and now practices intellectual property law.[6] As an EPIC Public Interest Opportunities Program Fellow, Meninsky testified before the U.S. Senate in 2002.[7] References1. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3766/atari_the_golden_years__a_.php?page=18 | title = Atari: The Golden Years — A History, 1978–1981 | first = Steve | last = Fulton | work = Gamasutra | date = August 21, 2008 | accessdate = December 4, 2010 }} 2. ^{{cite book | title = Chris Crawford on Game Design | first = Chris | last = Crawford | authorlink = Chris Crawford (game designer) | publisher = New Riders Games | year = 2003 | pages = 223, 437 | isbn = 0-13-146099-4 }} 3. ^1 {{Cite web|url=http://willnicholes.com/interviews/CarlaMeninsky.htm|title=Will Nicholes - Interview with Carla Meninsky (page 1)|website=willnicholes.com|access-date=2016-06-26}} 4. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.atariage.com/programmer_page.html?ProgrammerID=37 | title = Programmers: Carla Meninsky | first = Albert | last = Yarusso | work = AtariAge | accessdate = December 3, 2010 }} 5. ^{{cite web|last=Nicholes|first=Will|title=Interview with Carla Meninsky|url=http://willnicholes.com/interviews/CarlaMeninsky_2.htm|accessdate=16 October 2012}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Computer Programs and Copyright: Using Technological Measures to Lock out Competition |author=Meninsky, Carla |work=Munich Intellectual Property Law Center |url=http://137.250.121.216/research/general_projects/completed_projects/meninsky_computer/ |accessdate=2011-03-27 }}{{dead link|date=November 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 7. ^{{cite web | title= EPIC Statement on Biometrics and Identify Theft |author1=Rotenberg, Marc |author2=Meninsky, Carla | work= Electronic Privacy Information Center | url= http://epic.org/privacy/biometrics/testimony_071802.html | accessdate= 2011-03-27 }} Publications{{cite web | title= Locked Out: The New Hazards of Reverse Engineering | author= Meninsky, Carla | work= The John Marshall Journal of Computer & Information Law Vol. XXI Summer 2003 No. 4 | url=http://repository.jmls.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1127&context=jitpl | accessdate=2015-05-23 }}{{Atari 2600}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Meninsky, Carla}} 6 : Year of birth missing (living people)|Living people|Women video game programmers|Atari people|Women video game designers|Stanford University alumni |
