Arcade classic: Bagman
Jean-François Fabre ported his SDL-based clone of the arcade classic Bagman to the Amiga, which required SDL libraries and thus a graphics card. Now a port is available which directly uses the chipset graphics of the Amiga.
Bagman requires 2 MB RAM, ECS and at least a 68020 processor. The source codes of the game which was written in C++ are available on Github.

AmigaOS 4: MiniGL for GL4ES
Daniel Müßener's MiniGL for GL4ES ("MiniGL4GL4ES"), which is available in a first alpha version, allows also users of Polaris graphics cards to play a lot of the MiniGL games under AmigaOS 4.

MIDI sequencer: Source code of "Horny" released
The source code of the MIDI sequencer "Horny" which was developed to 2003 to 2006 now is available under a free license on GitHub. The developer Timo Kloss wrote: "This code is so bad, I had to give up working on it. It's here for nostalgic and historical reasons only." The names of variables and functions are in German.
Kloss himself is not going to develop the program further but thinks it might be possible to remove the keyfiles checks and to provide some minor bug fixes by third parties. Originally Horny was written with StormC and due to porting it to AmigaOS 4 then adapted to GCC.
