Tutorial: Setting up a cross-compiler for AmigaOS 4
Around three months ago, Hans De Ruiter announced a membership programme in which software and electronics tasks are to be discussed and solved (amiga-news.de reported). He has now launched this programme with Kea Campus and, as promised, has also set up an Amiga corner on YouTube in which instructions etc. will be published at different times.
The first post he has published there is a video explaining how to get a cross-compiler for AmigaOS 4 up and running quickly. He has also published a short summary in text form under the title link.

Python program: Pymod plays Amiga modules
The Python program Pymod, released in version 1.1.1, uses PortAudio (via PyAudio) to connect to the respective audio hardware. The emulation of ProTracker's behavior goes so far that even its bugs are optionally taken into account when playing music modules.
Thanks to Python's "import" function, Pymod can also be used by other programs to play modules.

Debbie Harry portrait by Andy Warhol and picture files resurfaced
Following the discovery of further computer graphics on the Amiga of pop art icon Andy Warhol ten years ago, one of the presumably only two copies of the Debbie Harry portrait that have been printed back then has resurfaced now, created at the presentation of the Amiga 1000 in 1985 - the other one is owned by the Blondie singer herself.
Jeff Bruette, a Commodore technician at the time, who lives in the US state of Delaware and taught Andy Warhol how to use the computer, is going to sell the painting that has been hanging on his wall for almost forty years now. It also includes an original floppy disk with pictures created later by the artist.

Platform game: Test version 3 of "Dr. Dangerous"
Inspired by the Amiga classic Rick Dangerous, hoogames has released another playable test version of "Dr Dangerous" (new YouTube video), which was created with the Scorpion Engine (amiga-news.de reported).
The new version 3 adds three more levels (9 to 11). The code system for the in-game codes has also been revised: you now have to find the codes in each level (big computers). In addition, a new enemy and a small intro have been added and levels 1 to 8 have been revised.
