Things I'm working on for the mommet.
I have been busy reading about MS C#, and about classes, in order to make it interesting I wanted to make program, that will be useful to me and maybe others, a cross platform application.

So here comes a small blog update.
Well I promised to fix few issues on forums, they where fixed, lately I have been feeling where tiered, and too many things to think about, during xmas, I have not felt motivated to work on it a lot, or get complied before xmas, but now its here.
Its time to talk about optimizing code, so was looking at Basilisk II code.

One think I noticed was was I did have his platform depended read and write functions.
So you have been waiting for Basilisk II 1.0
I'm going to tell you about latest changes for AmigaOS4.1
When we talk about Basilisk its emulator for MacOS7/MacOS8, the different versions the Basilisk II 1.0 was created more or less in 2001 to 2006, after this it was almost no changes to Amiga specific stuff.
Summer time, holyday and software development.
So what has happened sines last time, I wrote some thing here.
So what to say? I think its about time to upload a new version soon.
So what to say? I think its about time to upload a new version soon, take a look at picture be under what do you think?
I don't know if notice some thing new....
but look closely, did you see it :-)
So we are moving forward whit Excalibur 1.3.5.
Some really nice new features in this version, is that you do not need to quit Excalibur to reload settings. When I made the changes I discovered lots small bugs, that I have been addressing, mostly rendering related.
I most say it has been lots of bugs found I'm a bit surprised, mostly not critical, they just need to be fixed, it really does not help having lots of new features if the program is not work as expected, so this has to be fixed first.
So its that time again, Excalibur is ready for new release candidate V1.3.0
So what its going on well the last version was V1.2.5 I head to do things twice because some source code was lost, in the end, the product was not as tested as it might have been if orignal was released, so this version fixed a lot the bugs and issues that where overseen in last release.
* Fixed: menu editor used wrong type id for divider.
AGA/OCS (planar) vs 8BIT CLUT (chunky)
Friday after work, and yester day I did some experimentation, people keep on saying how great AGA and OCS are for demos, is this really true? Does planar really have a advantage over 8bit CLUT chunky graphics. I think it does not, its just that planar modes, makes easier to do layering, and graphic card does the rest, so my experiment was simple implement some sort of layering in 8bit CLUT, should not be too hard.
So here is my main code, not so complicated.
