Horrible. So sorry for him and his loved ones.

Though I never met the man, from interviews and broadcasts and such I always appreciated his manner. He came off as very thoughtful, kind, intelligent, dedicated, and humble. His contributions to and influence on pinball programming are extraordinary. He will be very missed.

Quoted from schudel5:

Josh really wanted to play Lyman on a game. There just so happened to be a HS2 right there so they started up a 2-player game. I was thinking Lyman may go easy on Josh to make it seem close. NOPE! Lyman annihilated Josh like 24 billion to 8 million! It wasn't close at all. But Josh thought that was the greatest thing ever and I'm glad Lyman stopped to talk to my son. Truly a class act!

This is so hilarious and great. Like the Chappelle Show skit where he plays the sick hospital kid in video games but x 10. And it actually happened!

This may sound like a strange request to some, but is there anywhere/way to actually read any of Lyman's code? Like everyone else, I am a big fan of his rules work. It's been a long time, but I used to enjoy programming, and I also enjoyed reviewing others' code. It can be fun to see how someone cleverly solved a challenge or elegantly designed a system, or to read funny comments of frustration and triumph. A programmer's personality can come through in their code.

Good programming produces art. There is also art in good programming. And it would be neat to be able to see some from one its greatest practitioners in pinball. No biggie if not, but I figured I'd ask.
