pixelplop' is in the process of writing a successor to the shareware game Extreme Violence, published by Simon Green in 1993, as an entry for this year's AmiGameJam.

Text-based strategy game: HAMmurabi V1.01
Hamurabi is a text-based strategy game in which you "take on the role of the Sumerian king for ten years, deciding how much land to buy, how much wheat to feed your subjects and how much wheat to sow." A previous version was published in 1968 for the newly invented programming language FOCAL, before it was ported to BASIC in 1973 and thus became known to a wider public (Wikipedia).

Phil Spilsbury has published the original source code on GitHub, as it was printed in the book "BASIC Computer Games" in 1978. If you want to get a first impression, you can test the version ported to HTML5 by Chris Ainsley in 2019 in your browser.

At the beginning of 2020, 'Dr Guru' published a version adapted to Amiga Kick Pascal in the Amiga-Dresden forum (German), the source code of which is still accessible.

Now 'lifeschool' has also taken on the game as a contribution to AmiGameJam 2024 and, in addition to the original version from 1978 (with or without language), has published a conversion he created with HAM background images and a few additional questions to answer. The game runs on any OCS/ECS Amiga with KS 3.0+, 0.5 MB chip and 1 MB Fast-Ram. (dr)

AmigaOS 4: AmigaOne Daily Driver Blog #1
In his latest blog entry Back to winter down-under, Trevor Dickinson reports on a meeting with Ryan Dixon, a long-time Amiga enthusiast and recently active AmigaOS 4 developer, member of the ExecSG team and beta tester for A-EON Technology's Enhancer software. In Dickinson's blog, Dixon already describes what he does on a daily basis with his two NextGen computers AmigaOne X1000 and X5000.

He has now started his own blog and describes his current use of various applications and tools and his reasons for using them in the first entry under the title link. Subsequent blogs will present newly discovered applications, tools or tips and their updates. (dr)
