In this mini-game, you have to dodge the grey balls for as long as possible with a red ball. These balls increase in number from time to time, making the game more difficult and inevitably ending in a collision. The longer you last, the more points you get. The mini-game is intended as a fun diversion and a way to compare high scores between games. A local high score list helps to compare points. Why this game? Dodge These Balls is a little mini-game for Amiga users that we hope you will enjoy. For us, it lays the foundation for development on classic Amigas. On the technical side, an early version of the game engine was used, which implements features such as blitter objects, collision, sound, loading and saving local high scores, and displaying and moving graphic objects. On the graphics side, we first had to learn how to create pixel graphics and save them with the necessary palette so that they could be used in the game. The target was the Amiga ECS chipset with its limited palette compared to AGA. All graphics were created in Deluxe Paint 4, which was an additional challenge, but simply more fun. Since we had to start from scratch from a technical and graphical point of view on the classic Amigas, Dodge These Balls may be a small mini-game for Amiga users, but for EntwicklerX it is a big step forward and paves the way for further developments for the Amiga. In addition, we have launched a Patreon page to share early information about game development, with a focus on games for AmigaOS4 and classic Amigas. Development for the original Amiga computers will gradually progress from free mini-games to larger commercial products. The small games serve as a basis for larger projects and integrate new features that will be incorporated into the more extensive games. Every bit of support allows us to invest more time in the projects and drive them forward. (dr) [News message: 07.

"AmiBrowser" runs on AmigaKit's desktop AmiBench, which is based on the reimplementation of AmigaOS components, supplemented by AROS components. The browser supports HTML 5, has a MUI/Zune graphical user interface and is compiled for the 680x0 architecture - although rendering is done natively using the appropriate ARM libraries. Update: (08.08.2025, 06:01, dr) The YouTube channel "Proteque-CBN" shows a video of how an early version of the browser runs on the A600GS. (snx) [News message: 06.

Aug. 2025, 15:07] [Send via e-mail]  [Print version]  [ASCII version] 06.Aug.2025 Cordoomceps: Doom on a PiStorm Amiga using Linux Cordoomceps is an approach by Matthew Garrett to run the game Doom on an Amiga with PiStorm extension, not by emulating the AmigaOS hardware, but by having the actual image generation performed by Linux running natively on the ARM processor and simply passing the finished result to the Amiga. His Doom port is based on Chocolate Doom, and he makes his source code available under the title link. He describes the project in detail in his blog as a graphically slightly flawed version of Doom that runs without sound and is displayed on an Amiga whose brain has been replaced by a parasitic Linux.
