Tarn Adams
Tarn Adams (born April 17, 1978) is an American computer game programmer, best known as the developer of ''Dwarf Fortress'' since 2002 with his older brother Zach. He learned programming in his childhood, and has been designing computer games as a hobby. He quit his first year of a mathematics post doctorate at Texas A&M to focus on game development in 2006.
==Early life==
Adams was born in Silverdale, Washington, US, in 1978. His father, Dan, worked at a waste water treatment plant and used to manage data. Adams credited his father for teaching him to code and his closeness to his brother, Zach, to their family's constant shifting due to their father's work. In high school, he formed a close friendship with Alan Ames, an aerospace engineer and a supporter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://bay12games.com/contact.html )〕 Adams and Zach grew up playing computer games and, with notebooks in hand, drawing their own renditions of the randomly generated creatures they encountered and logging their journeys in detail. In fifth grade, he wrote his first animation game with Zach. In an interview explaining his reluctance to socialize, he said, "I was a get-home-from-school, get-on-the-computer kind of kid." Adams stated that the main reason they started writing games was to be able to play them themselves, and complicated and unpredictable behavior guaranteed replayability.〔
In high school they created a spacecraft game that simulated sections of a rocket blowing off and released their first publicly available game on America Online. In sixth grade, they started their first fantasy game called ''dragslay'' written in BASIC.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=133.msg1069#msg1069 )〕 It consisted of single battles leading to a final one with a dragon. A few years later, he rewrote it in C language, and it featured minute details and kept track of populations of units in the world generated. He cited books, movies, pen and paper role-playing games and other computer games as their inspiration for the various games developed. He said that Dungeons & Dragons and J.R.R. Tolkien interested him and indie games like ''Cyberpunk 2020''.〔
