Tarn Adams is one of the most popular and richest Computer Programmer who was born on April 17, 1978 in Silverdale, Washington, United States.

Tarn Adams (born April 17, 1978) is an American computer game programmer, best known for his work on Dwarf Fortress. He has been working on the game 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.

After quitting university, Tarn thought he would use up his savings after a year ($15,000) and need a job to sustain himself. Dwarf Fortress was originally started in October 2002 as a two-month side project, but was suspended soon after in preference over Armok’s development. He had developed a game called Mutant Miner. It was a turn-based game where players look for minerals and dig out tunnels while dealing with threats. He realized the need to be able to manage many miners and not only have a high score list, but also store more minute details, which was the beginning of the project.

Tarn was born in Silverdale, Washington, US, in 1978. His father, Dan, worked at a waste water treatment plant and used to manage data. He 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. Tarn 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, Tarn wrote his first animation game with Zach. Explaining his reluctance to socialize, he said, “I was a get-home- from-school, get-on-the-computer kind of kid.” Tarn stated that the main reason they started writing games was to be able to play them themselves, and complicated and unpredictable behavior guaranteed replayability.

After dragslay, Tarn and Zach started working on another adventure game, focusing on world generation. The role-playing video game Ultima inspired them regarding world development. For four years, after working on the adventure title and rendering it in 3D graphics, they completed Slaves to Armok: God of Blood. “Armok” was the name of the game’s deity from the variable “arm_ok”, which was used in dragslay to indicate how many arms were left on a particular unit. The random story generator was originated by both of them writing stories. Tarn said, “you could zoom in on your character, and it’d tell you how curly his leg hairs were, and the melting and flash points of various materials, It was insane.” The brothers posted it on their website in 2000, but by 2004 the project started to face increasing problems. Tarn announced in 2004 on his forums that he was going to shift his main project from Armok to a side project called Dwarf Fortress.
