13-year-old schoolboy becomes Britain's youngest iPhone app developer
Aaron Bond designs video game 'Spud Run' by watching online tutorials
Aaron Bond, a 13-year-old schoolboy, has become Britain's youngest recorded iPhone app video game developer. He achieved the feat after creating Spud Run, a 59p game in which users have to navigate a mutant potato through a maze before it is squashed in 40 seconds.
Bond learnt writing the programme after watching online tutorials. The idea and design was by his16-year-old friend Sebastian McNeil. Bond, from Paignton, Devon, and McNeil are believed to be among the youngest app developers in Britain. Nine-year-old Lim Ding Wen from Singapore holds the record for being the youngest app developer in the world.
