As a kid, I wanted to program a game called Face
Invaders on my ZX81, where you shot at zits. I

Martin Smith
Group Senior Designer
I cycle often, and have a lot of bikes. I'd build
an app to log info about them; manufacturers'
specs and any upgrades I've made.
Bob Canning
Staff Writer
How about a game that could start a
thermonuclear war? I’d program a noughts and
crosses sim to save the world too.
Alison Drew
Sub Editor

information on food packaging to the traffic
light system, to see how healthy it is.

Staff Writer

Karl Linstead
Production Manager

and create a feature for swapping between
multiple user accounts, like on macOS.
