 Platformer: Developer for Amiga port of 'Flea' wanted
As John Girvin from Nivrig Games (e.g. Turbo Santa or Turbo Tomato) reports, developer Alastair Low (Lowtek Games) said in a conversation on Twitch that he would be open to a port of his platformer 'Flea' to the Amiga. The game was originally funded and released through a Kickstarter campaign for the Nintendo Entertainment System, but ports are now also available or in development for Dreamcast and Windows. The source code was written using Nesmaker. According to John Girvin, this project "looks very doable". (dr)

 Programming language: AmiBlitz 3.9.2 / 'Amiga Blitz Basic Game Jam' announced
At the end of March the new major release 3.9.0 of the programming language AmiBlitz was made available. Today with version 3.9.2 a second bug fix release was added. Changes:
  • fixed some enforcer hits
  • fixed drawing problem with text cursor
  • updated several guide files
  • added a new blitzlib "crc.obj" by Ray Brooks (@rayui) to the distribution

At the same time, indie game developer Dan 'zooperdan' Thoresen (Wheel of Fortune implementation 'YAWoFFA') has announced the Amiga Blitz Basic Game Jam: From June 1 to September 1, 2022, Amiga developers are invited to write and submit games in AmiBlitz or Blitz Basic. The idea behind this contest is to increase the number of programmers and the knowledge around the Amiga and the use of Blitz Basic and AmiBlitz to create games. This means that all games submitted must include source code so that beginners have examples to study and learn from.

So if you always wanted to deal with a new programming language or apply your knowledge, you now have the opportunity to do so. Only games for 68k Amigas with AmigaOS are allowed: MorphOS, AmigaOS 4 and AROS are excluded. Also, submissions requiring Vampire cards, graphics cards or other special hardware will not be accepted. More details at the link above. (dr)

 MorphOS: Web browser Wayfarer 3.5 (2nd update)
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek has released version 3.3 and then as a bugfix version 3.4 of his MorphOS web browser 'Wayfarer'. Changes:
  • HTTP HEAD requests to resources would poison the Curl disk cache with 0-byte files, leading to websites failing to load/work correctly
  • Minor speed improvements in JavaScriptCore and timing code
  • Improved refresh speeds when typing text on websites showing animated contents as you type
  • The HLS player will iterate through all streams of the master playlist now if a selected sub playlist fails to play
  • Re-worked post-seeking playback restart to avoid auto-start of streams that start playback from non-0 position
  • Fixed audio buffer under-run handling
  • Invisible video streams fixed not to enable overlay
  • Improved invalid certificate error handling UI flows
  • Disabled touch events support
  • minor fix for HTTP AUTH regression
Download: wayfarer.lha (26 MB)

Update: (29.04.2022, 06:48, dr)
According to the developer, some mis-compilation has crept in that negatively impacted stability of recent builds in some situations. Hi has fixed that by releasing verion 3.5.

Update 2: (01.05.2022, 07:38, snx)
The author informs there are additional problems that seem to have been introduced with version 3.3 and recommends to revert back to Wayfarer 3.2 (wayfarer3.2.lha, 26 MB) for now. (dr)
