Developer diary: Inspired by Powermonger, part 1
Developer Daniel Bratton had been "fascinated with what appeared to be a living breathing world – and that world looked like a gaming tabletop", ever since the game Powermonger came out in 1990. Since then, he said, he's always wondered how that was programmed. That eventually motivated him to learn how to program the Amiga so he could recreate it.
In the first part of his developer diary, Daniel Bratton now reports on how he reprogrammed the game board with the intersecting lines - with the help of the Visual Studio Code Extension, which he will discuss in more detail in later entries.

ACube Systems: Delivery of Sam460LE boards in November
Press release: We would like to thank all our customers for their support and patience.
Despite all our efforts to deliver the new Sam460LE by the end of September, we suffered some delay in the production and, unfortunately, the boards are still not ready for delivery.
Unfortunately, we had to make a last-minute change of some components (connectors) that are no more available and this has delayed (again) the production as we had to test the pre-production boards one more time.
After this last-minute modification, pre-production boards passed every test and are ready to go. We are expecting to be able to ship all the boards to our customers in November.
At Amiga37 in Mönchengladbach we will show the pre-production boards on which are based the final boards we will send to customers. We will update our customer as soon as we have news. See you in Mönchengladbach!

Linux: Browser Artic Fox V40.0
Christian 'xeno74' Zigotzky has compiled version 40.0 of the web browser Artic Fox for Linux PowerPC (32 Bit). Basically it runs under the Linux PowerPC distributions Void PPC, MintPPC, Fienix and Ubuntu 10.04 (which are also available for AmigaOne X1000 and 5000. Mainly, the browser is meant for older resp. slow systems (e.g. G3 with Ubuntu 10.04) because it is using an older version of the Goanna engine which has a good performance on slower systems. As a result, certain pages like GitHub cannot be fully displayed.
Download: arcticfox-40.0.linux-powerpc.tar.bz2 (40 MB)
