Hi Gary, although Tom himself admits he got the inspiration for this idea and for the object detector from the GMA game engine, he doesn't use it to create his games. He's a qualified enough programmer to write his stand alone code on his own. In fact, he even had to rewrite the Monty core all from scratch, as the original Alchemy level editor and the engine were too graphical in nature for a totally blind developer, which Tom is.
