Platform game: Capitan Trueno 1.2
"El Capitán Trueno" is a video game for 8-bit systems that was released in 1989 and is based on the comics of the same name that were published between 1956 and 1968. The Amiga port of the game was created using the RedPill game construction kit and requires at least a 68020 processor and 2 MB RAM (YouTube video). Version 1.2 mainly improves the jumping of the captain, so that you no longer have the feeling of flying across the screen. (dr)

Game development: Color Palette Mixer 1.21 for Aseprite
"Prismatic Realms" has not only written a script for Aseprite that converts created graphics into an IFF/ILBM file (amiga-news.de reported), but also a second one under the title link that limits the colour selection to 4096. The current version 1.21 is a small bug fix to properly initialize the colour sliders to the current selected colour when the dialog opens. (dr)

MorphOS: Web browser Wayfarer 7.0
Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek has released version 7.0 of his Wayfarer web browser for MorphOS. As the author writes, this is the seventh time Wayfarer has been upgraded to the latest stable WebKitGTK. At the same time, this release also marks the fourth anniversary of the project.

Version 7.0 has been the most challenging update so far: "Several new endian issues have crept into WebKit, with one of them causing an immediate crash when running JavaScript on big endian CPUs. The removal of some of the WinCairo port has also made it more difficult to maintain the MorphOS port. Many of the code paths that the MorphOS port is using aren't being used by the officially supported ports, which requires additional testing and bug fixing." Furthermore, support for the clipboard and the editor for saved passwords have been improved.

The developer appreciates every donation that supports the project.

Video series: Turning an Amiga 600 into a Classic Gaming Console
In a three-part series, two episodes have been published so far ((part 1, part 2), Wolfgang Kierdorf shows on his YouTube channel "RETRO is the new black" how he transforms an Amiga 600 into a retro game console for 4 players. As he told us, this project actually came about by chance, as he didn't want to have a bare Amiga 600 board lying around. All the components used are linked in the second video.

A third part of the video series will be published next week, in which HDMI will be added. In the meantime, there is also a version for the Amiga 500 (same case, only wider and deeper), as some users had asked for it, and the MiSTer/Raspberry Pi. The whole thing was designed in TinkerCad. (dr)
