Rally game: Jari-Matti Rally (prototype)
In mid-December, 'lifeschool22' published a prototype with "MonkeyEye", with which he wanted to test whether CanDo could be used to create a point'n'click adventure game (amiga-news.de reported). Now he has published another prototype with the racing game "Jari-Matti Rally": it is a Full-motion video (FMV) racing game that he also wrote with CanDo. A 68030 processor (or faster), 2MB chip RAM, 4MB fast RAM and 117 MB free space for the hard disc installation are recommended. (dr)

Video tutorial: Transferring Spectrum-Basic code to Amiga-AMOS
In another part of his series of short tutorials on AMOS Pro, retro and Amiga fan 'Yawning Angel' shows how he first enters a printed Basic program from a Sinclair magazine from October 1984 into his 48k ZX Spectrum and then converts it to AMOS Pro on his Amiga. (dr)

Preview video: Hyperborea (Resurrected) #2
Daniel 'Daytona675x' Müßener is in the process of continuing "Hyperborea", a project started four years ago and interrupted in the meantime (YouTube videos) (amiga-news.de reported). Technically, the game is as good as finished. Changes compared to the first preview video:
  • spread shot: fully loaded :) Each player can now throw up to 36 laser-streaks on the enemies.
  • muzzle flash
  • collision handling player vs. bullets and floating enemies
  • smart bomb: if you're about to die it will be activated automatically, unless your bomb stock is empty, of course. While the bomb is active, enemy hitpoints are constantly drained, bullets are canceled and you're invulnerable. Note: for the video I always keep the 2nd player's bomb stock at 0. This is simply because otherwise it would constantly bomb if hit and make the video much less interesting :P
  • removed dummy test explosions on enemy hit: instead a dedicated hit sound is played. Maybe I'll add some sparks later.
  • optional bullet canceling on enemy hit: when the enemy is destroyed then all of the bullets that were spawned by it are canceled.
  • extremely optimized player-gun vs. enemies algorithm
  • optional craters for ground enemies and test turrets: those craters got their own dedicated rendering system.
  • some well-known floating popcorn enemies ;)
Many enemies are taken from Torben's earlier work "Battle Squadron" for the time being. There are also a few placeholders (e.g. for the music or crater gfx). (dr)

Amiga-Emulator: vAmigaWeb - reworked virtual keyboard
vAmigaWeb is an Amiga emulator for the web browser or a Progressive Web App (PWA) based on the Amiga emulator vAmiga for MacOS.

In this update, the virtual keyboard has been restyled and technically reworked. It is now css-grid-based, which enables automatic scaling to different screen sizes. In addition to a scaling factor, the user can now also add a border at the bottom of the screen. This is particularly useful to prevent the keyboard from conflicting with the home indicator (the thin bar at the bottom of the iPhone screen).

All analogue sticks on a external controller should be recognized and work properly now. Tested with wireless Xbox controller on iPad. (dr)
