Puzzle game: Demo version of 'Spheroid' released
About a month ago we were already allowed to test the puzzle game 'Spheroid' written by Andrew Vaisey in Blitz Basic, where you move a metal ball through a maze of tiles to reach the exit within the given time and the maximum allowed number of moves. Different tiles have different properties and affect the ball in different ways (amiga-news.de reported).

MorphOS: Screenbar-Plugin TopTasks 1.6
TopTasks.sbar is a Screenbar-Plugin for MorphOS that shows the task that is currently eating the most CPU time in the screen title.
When the titlebar object is clicked it opens a window displaying the top tasks (from 5 to 25) currently hogging all your precious CPU time. Furthermore it can display a history of the top tasks of the last configureable number of seconds/minutes/hours. Changes:
- The top tasks window opens now exactly below the screen title bar instead of using its own bottom border for position.
- Text displayed in the screen title can now be rendered off-center vertically by specifiying a pixel offset.
- Number of Top Tasks shown can be configured from 5, 10, 15, 20 to 25 tasks now. Previously it was fixed to 10 tasks.
- Now displays the rank of the tasks in the first column.
- Top Tasks and History Tasks CPU loads can now also be colour coded ranging from green over yellow to red (see settings).
- Comes with a real Installer script courtesy of InstallerGen by Rob Cranley now.
- Now also shows the respective task priorities in history list.
- Global task info group in the TopTask window can now be hidden (see settings).
- The TopTask window can now be made dragable (see settings).
- Width calculation has been updated to be a bit closer to the configured number of characters in settings.
- Number of entries held in History list can now be adjusted from 60 seconds up to 24 hours where 1 entry equals 1 second.
Once an entry was selected in history list it was not possible to deselect it making the list always keep the entry in the visible area scrolling the added top entries out. To deselect the entry now double click any entry in the list.

Arcade game 'Jump!': Demo version 1.10 available
At the end of last year we had the opportunity to (test) the alpha version of 'Jump!', a conversion of the game Yoomph, originally written for the Atari. The Polish developer Markus Duda now has released a second demo version (amiga-news.de reported) which has lower chip memory usage and provides some minor bugs fixes.
An Amiga 1200 with 14MHz and 4MB FastRAM is required. The demo version offers three playable levels.
The game can be pre-ordered at the title link as a digital variant for 29 Euros or as a 'boxed version' for 45 Euros plus shipping (depending on the destination).
Download: jump_demo.zip (2,6 MB)
