Amiga Tool Jam: AmiAuthenticator V1.1.0
AmiAuthenticator was also written for the Amiga Tool Jam and is a 2FA (two-factor authentication) code generator for the Amiga that is compatible with many websites that use 2FA. It generates TOTP (Time based one time passwords) codes with SHA1 or SHA256. Similar (non-Amiga) applications are Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator and FreeOTP. These codes can be used to secure access to various websites, e.g. GitHub, LastPass, Amazon, Facebook, Instagram (amiga-news.de reported). Changes of version 1.1.0:
- Added 'Copy' menu item to copy the current values to the Clipboard (05-Nov-2023)
- Added clarification of the SHA type (SHA1 is the standard default option used by 2FA TOTP)
- Allow spaces in the secret
- Internet time not always read correctly
- Minor UI bug fixes

Tool: SpriteSplitter V0.4
The basic idea of a spritesheet is to pack a series of images together into a single image. Dan 'zooperdan' Thoresen's "SpriteSplitter" reverses this: it is a simple tool for splitting a spritesheet image into separate images that can be used in the Scorpion Engine. This allows the user to save time when updating spritesheets by automating this process.<
In version 0.4 a -file parameter was added which let you specify a text file which contains a list of command operations. This is much faster than calling SpriteSplitter multiple times.
