2005
Upon starting to use flash, he attempted his first cartoon, which in the end wasn't that great, really, it was practically all on one layer. He didn't even know how to do a tween. He latyer came upon tha fact that little games on miniclip and newgrounds were made in flash. In an attempt to be awesome, he started to teach himself how to script. He learned quickly from previous bouts with lua on the PSP.
2006
DrRobot continued extending his actionscript abilities taking on projects that would go way over his head, as some still do today. Buit, he kept trying and eventually learned many things.
He joined his first collaboration on the NG BBS, it was called "The Tutorial Collab '06." He did the FLStudio part, and an overhead game part.
The Orange Day
In August 2006, DrRobot purchased his first website, The Orange Day. He bought the domain space from 1and1 Web Hosting with the "Home Business" package. Since then, he has started learning CSS and PHP along with sql integration. Currently his plans for the website is to finish his new layout and finish the forums
2007
DrRobot had entered the Armorgames/Newgrounds music based based Rockout Competition. He didn't place where he would've liked to, but he recieved a score higher than 3 out of five, so he's fine with that.
The Future
Tom's plans for the future are quite the mysterious ones. He doesn't really plan for the future, he tries to live in the 'now'.
Aside from that. He has a few projects going on under his sleeves. He has a project that currently remains nameless. But, he enjoys calling it Untitled. He has posted a little preview of it on his sheezyart. In a recent conversation with Tom, he stated that he didn't like the preview for 'Untitled' and would like to redo it.
On a non-animating related note, he has gotten himself deeper in the rabbit hole by making the attempt to learn Vectors. He has made some progress, and has memorized the equation for dot product, normalization, and projection. Now for the hard part, integrating it successfully into a flash game, or something of the sort.
Experience
Animation
DrRobot has almost three years of experience with animation, not including the flip books he used to make back in elementary school.
Actionscript
DrRobot, is well aquainted with this area, ever since he started using flash he's always wanted to make games, with Flash, it's an easy way to integrate a visual experience with an interactive experience.
Skills
DrRobot has various skills other than flash, he can solve rubik cubes, compose music in FLStudio and ect.. Though, his music isn't so great, he hopes to get better. He can also navigate through computer systems like nothing. Apart from his computer inclined life, he is an avid woodworker and architect, drawing plans for manythings that probably won't happen.
Other
DrRobot is on the school wrestling team in his homestate, he enjoys listening to techno and rock music. He hopes to travel over seas to London and Amsterdam with some of his friends. One a related note, he also hopes to meet Tom Fulp, the creator of Newgrounds.
