Amiga C code for adults

Someone made a delicate little mistake when sending his C code to the publisher in 1990... 

Ah, good old German humour. Thankfully, no reference to the "adult" function in question could be found throughout the book, so it doesn't result in "premature failure" when bedtime-coding your "Amiga".

The dual-Blitt() function may cause some trouble, though, not just because it's dual, but also because no reference to BlittLine() could be found either.

Capital Punishment, Myst, Quake, Napalm - an in-depth history of ClickBOOM

Aleksandar Petrovic, producer for legendary Amiga games company ClickBOOM, has published an extensive video, in which he shares his experience.

It began with a Sinclair ZX81! And from there went on to become the most daring and most respected Amiga game company ever. ClickBOOM was active on the Amiga from about 1995 to 2002. "Capital Punishment", "Myst", "Quake", "Napalm - The Crimson Crisis", "T-Zer0", "Nightlong - Union City Conspiracy" all are legendary Amiga game titles that broke new ground, each in its own right.

Kaleidoscopico - lftkryo's Raspberry Pi Pico 2 demo

Amiga is a state of mind. Or, if it isn't, lftkryo, of "The Commodorion" fame, has just accidentally created something very Amiga.

Admittedly, this isn't strictly about Amiga computing. Linus Åkesson, aka "lft", or "lftkryo", as he is known on YouTube, creates a lot of interesting stuff using retro tech. Among other skills (e.g. music), he's also an accomplished assembler coder, mostly using the Commodore 64's 6502 CPU, but also several other old or odd nerd machines.
