Video: Doom clone Grind 0.6
The Doom clone "Grind" should run on any Amiga with at least one and a half megabytes of RAM and a hard disk. The level "DevArena" shown in the video was originally created as a test area for new opponents and functions and actually serves as a stress test for the Grind engine. For this reason, at least an A1200 with Fast RAM is recommended for DevArena.
The new features of version 0.6 are listed in detail in the video description.

Hardware project: Bluetooth-based Kickstart switch "AmigaBlueKick"
"AmigaBlueKick" is a Kickstart switch that does not require any soldering work on the motherboard or a mechanical switch: Switching between the different Kickstart ROMs is done via Bluetooth. To do this, a ready-made ESP32S3 or ESP32C3 Wifi/Bluetooth module is connected to four pins of a Kickstart EPROM (5V, ground, A18, A19). If you do not want to trigger a reset manually after every Kickstart switch, you must also connect a cable to the reset line of the Amiga.
Any Bluetooth explorer can be used for control, but the developer also offers a self-developed iOS app. The software for the Bluetooth module and the iOS app are available under a free license and the source code is available on Github.

Grzegorz Kraszewski is in the process of writing the logic game Untangle for the Amiga. The player has a number of dots in front of him, which are connected by lines and cross each other. The aim of the game is to untangle the lines by moving the dots so that no line intersects another (amiga-news.de reported). Version 1.2 offers 25 new levels - 200 in total - and Polish localisation.
