Alan Turing theorised about a computer but it was actually invented and built by Tommy Flowers, a post office engineer ! He spent 1000 pounds of his own money to ensure it was built and it cracked the German High Command code, The Lorenz Cipher, shortening WWII by a year.
Alan Turing is considered to be the father of computers because he invented the Turing machine. The Turing machine is thought to be the first model of a computer.
Not as far as I know. Charles Babbage, John Vincent Atanasoff and Alan Turing. Those people are commonly regarded as the forefathers of the modern computer.

Alan Turing's invention of the programmable digital computer appeared in his 1936 paper "On Computable Numbers". However as it was only used as part of his main proof on computability in that paper, he never considered how such a machine might actually be built and made to work. Many years later this type of computer architecture was named a "Turing Machine".After his World War 2 work at Bletchley Park and his exposure to Tommy Flowers' codebreaking programmable electronic digital computers called "Colossus", Alan Turing helped design and build stored program electronic digital computers (these were not based on his earlier "Turing Machine" invention).
Yes, he did.

Alan Mathison Turing was born on the 23rd June 1912. He is considered to be the father of computer science and also artificial intelligence. Alan Mathison Turing died on the 7th june 1954.
Alan Turing invented the idea of the modern computer in 1936. This device became known as a 'Turing Machine.' It was a hypothetical device that could help scientists comprehend the limitations of a computer's ability to perform calculations.
The first 'proper' videogame was a computer version of Chess, made by Alan Turing in 1947.
