MorphOS: Fireflies and APooler 1.0
Fireflies
Fireflies is a small Demo, which demonstrates the possibilities of TinyGL.
(Screenshot).
Link: Homepage of Linux-Version
Link: Downloadseite
Download: Fireflies.lha (120 KB)
APooler
The point of APooler is to decrease the memory-fragmentation on MorpOS,
which can slow down the system after a longer working time.
Apooler is at this moment not tested, this is the reason why the author
has no information about the efficiency at this moment.

AmigaOS 4: Warp3D plugin for Playstation emulator FPSE
As the next update of Mathias Roslund's FPSE port will take some more time the author released a Warp3D plugin for the existing version of the Playstation emulator.
The plugin works very well with some games (Colin McRae and Ridge Racer are mentioned as examples), other games are problematic or run even slower.

Linux: ColdFire plans for Debian-m68k
As the computer news site Symlink reported exist plans to port the Debian Linux variant for processors of the 680x0 family to the related successor architecture ColdFire to revive this Linux project.
At the time it's not decided wether a common port for both architectures is indeed possible but for now the barriers seem not to be insuperable. In addition Freescale promised for this project five Coldfire boards for testing purposes.

AmiBlitz2 added to Blitzbasic-Forum
After an opinion poll in the Blitzbasic forum of the Windows-, Linux- and Mac OS-users a new category for AmiBlitz2 was established today. With this action it is tried to build a bridge between the new Blitzbasic variants and the original.
It is the aim that the exchange between users of all four operating systems should create new impulses and the experience of the Amiga Blitzbasic community should be mixed with new ideas of the newer BlitzPlus-/Blitz3D- and BlitzMax-users.

More graphic designers wanted for the Shoot'em Up "Megalospirit"
"Megalospirit", a Shoot'em Up for Windows, Mac OS,
Linux, MorphOS and maybe AmigaOS 4, is under development
since 2003 (screen shots: 1, 2, 3, 4). The
game requires OpenGL and SDL and uses a screen resolution of
800x600 pixels. The engine runs under Windows, Mac OS
and Linux yet.
The current team, Jérôme "Polluxe" Davoine (code), Olivier
"Haploo" Gonneau (music) and Thierry "LorD" Philippe (gfx), is
looking for one or two more gfx dsigners who may design sprite
or (tile
based) landscapes. If you interested, you may contact the developers lord @ lordfpx . com.
