This game is dedicated to a former co-worker at LSU, Adam Zapletal.

We've worked side by side for almost 5 years, and even longer if you include university days. The game was made to be a tribute to that time, and be a reference point to his departure to pursue his dreams.

Adam's favorite video games is probably the original Megaman series in a certain number sequence, so I thought it would be appropriate to send him off with a very difficult Megaman-style platformer. It's a very truncated experience, and probably filled with bugs. I hope it doesn't crash on you.

The Group

We all worked at LSU. We liked video games. We had fun. We are all bro's. Adam was (is still) a part of that group, and contributed to the good times during the work day's slow progress.

Adam has left LSU to pursue contract work for a Bible publishing company, named Crossway. Our loss is their gain.

There is no doubt in my mind that Adam will be successful. At Crossway, he can be passionate about two very important things to him:

  1. Python development
  2. Jesus

Thankfully, he will not require re-location, but there will be an empty seat in this cubicle during the day. A constant reminder that our friend has moved on.

I've never been one for long-winded farewells, so I'm going to wrap this up quick:

As a programmer: great. As a friend: better. Will you be missed at LSU? Absolutely. You're entering a new, exciting chapter in your career, and I'm very happy for you.

I'm looking forward to hearing about your great successes.

Good luck, dude. pcali1 adamzap
