His interest in computers began in the s, programming sport simulators and beep-music on the ZX Spectrum 48k. When the keyboard broke from too much Dailey Thompson, Tom upgraded to the Commodore Amiga and continued to create amateur games but with multi-channel sound in AMOS, before dabbling in the black art of Assembly language. He has been developing for the Web for more than a decade, with more than eight years in development for the Flash platform.
