 Apollo cards: File sharing tool "ApolloExplorer" v1.1.2
ApolloExplorer is a simple file exchange programme that can be used to transfer files from a PC to an Amiga running an Apollo card and vice versa over the network. A server software runs in the background on the Amiga and allows a client running on a PC with Windows, Linux or MacOS to connect to the Amiga and browse the local hard drives. Changes in version 1.1.2:
  • Hopefully the Amiga server shouldn't crash anymore on any machines. Please let me know if it does for you.
  • The annoying bug on MacOS where the folder contents (not the folder) were copied when dragging a folder is fixed. Finally!
  • Fixes for the blinking drive icons
  • The browser window should remember the user's selection of list or icon mode

 Game Construction Kit: Video tutorials for the Scorpion Engine
The Scorpion Engine is not only intended for developers, but - as Erik 'earok' Hogan, author of the Game Construction Kit, emphasises - for anyone who wants to create a game for the Amiga. With the Scorpion Engine, he is trying to realise a project that strikes a balance between user-friendliness, performance and flexibility. We therefore asked the developer to what extent video tutorials are available.

Just recently Erik was a guest on AmigaBill. The recording of the live stream available on YouTube shows in great detail how a very simple game can be created from scratch using the Scorpion Engine. Coincidentally, it uses the same Terybleknight artpack that was used in a Redpill game.

The video series launched in April 2022 in collaboration with Michael Parent from BitBeamCannon (amiga-news.de reported) was also continued: Making Games with Scorpion Engine has six parts.

Finally, please refer to the video tutorial on creating a vertically scrolling demo, which we also mention in our update messages. (dr)
