If you're a fan of platform games then you may want to check out the recently released "Marco Gregorio's Adventures to Unusual Places", which was released towards the end of April.

Put together using game creation package "Backbone", the game spans 5 levels and features music from the Sounds Terrific MOD compilation, with author credits detailed in the game.

The tiles and sprites were created by English Amiga Board member amiman99, with the help of his friend. Tiles used were from a modified set originally created by fellow EAB member Cammy.

Mauving forward (I've already used that pun, I know)

I'm still looking trhough the mauve test suite, and this is my current report. For java.io tests you can see previous post.

Overview

AmigaOS is a 32 bit OS. There is little we can change about it. The size of an address pointer is intrinsically entangled into the API, and getting rid of this legacy is, for the most part, a matter of replacing all of the API with a new one. Every time a programmer writes something like “sizeof(struct Message)”, the 32 bit nature is fused into his code.

Welcome back, long time no see, my friend. Please be seated.

I can tell you I have some good news to you again: here comes Beta #4!

Get it here if you must:

I am the first to admit that I am not a programmer. But it is good to know that AmigaOS4 has many different ways to program applications for it in 2014. I wanted to draw attention to two of those options - Codebench and Hollywood.

Hi guys,

Hi everyone,

Back in May 2011 I wrote for the first time about the Viva Amiga documentary. Years have passed, but now the film is nearing completion. Below you’ll find a preview and a speech by the author, Zach Weddington. Hope you’ll enjoy it. :)

The official AmigaOS Documentation Wiki has been online for more than a couple of years now and has had many changes since its humble beginning.

Featuring over 5 hours of gameplay, 64 colours on screen at once and over 40 pieces of music, this Zelda-like RPG surely pushes the Backbone game creation system to its absolute limits.

The game, which has taken over a year to develop, is now in the closing stages of completion, and with that opportunities to download a demo and pre-order the full release have now arisen.

Visit www.talesofgorluth.de for more information, download links for English and German demo versions, and for pre-order details.

This week we saw the release of the first upgrade of Directory Opus in over 14 years. Directory Opus 5.9 is now released for AmigaOS4 on os4depot.net, worked on by kas1e and various other team members over the past few years.

This week I was glad to receive my Commodore CDTV in the post. I have never owned a CDTV so I was keen to get one - when the opportunity came I wasn't going to miss it!
