Tetris clone: "Tetra Zone"
Around eight years ago, Wei-ju Wu published a seven-part series (plus additional episodes) on Amiga hardware programming in C on his YouTube channel. Now he is in the process of writing a Tetris clone called "Tetra Zone" for the AmiGameJam 2024, which implements techniques from this tutorial series (YouTube video).
His game extends the original with three preview stones, a hold function, a "ghost stone" and support for "wall kicks". Another goal was to achieve a stable frame rate of 50/60 fps on a 5-bitplane screen. He has now released a first pre-release version (without sound).

Picture collection: Update of the Amiga Graphics Archive
Four images from Island Graphics from 1985 have now been added to the collection of early Amiga graphics. Three of them show ballerinas. They were based on paintings by the French painter Edgar Degas, which were transferred to the Amiga as a background image using a Genlock and then traced using a painting program.
