Game: Preview of Alien Nations
Jürgen A. Theiner writes:
'Alien Nation', in Germany better known as 'Die Völker', will soon be available on Amiga. Therefore I've asked my brother to look at the game on the PC on our behalf. Everybody is invited to read what he's saying about the game. (sd) (Translation: sr)

Sport: Runcoach - runner's training program for Amiga PC
Achim Klopsch writes:
For people who are into running and who are preparing themselves for a marathon, putting together their individual training program is a great help. A typical question would be: How do I need to set up my training in order to improve my time for the half-marathon by 5 minutes? Subsequently, a program will be devised up to the time of the competition which consists of the best possible combination of different training blocks.

Runcoach, available in Aminet, is such a program (freeware) also for our Amiga. It's the realization of the well-known PC version by the Australian Paul Shields. Erik Engdahl is the maker of the Amiga version. Unfortunately he's very busy at work. However, further development might be possible if there are enough users.

Therefore whoever is interested in using Runcoach, please contact me.

Further development could comprise:
  • Possibility to print
  • Training diary
  • Localisation
  • Import of data from pulse watches of the Polar series (e.g S410) etc.
Your comments are very much appreciated.

Emulator: WinUAE Beta for sound test plus P96-Fix
On 21 April 2001 a new beta version of the Amiga emulator 'WinUAE' for Windows was released. This version is supposed to test whether the sound has improved.

The sound doesn't block UAE in any case, so that speed problems are not supposed to occur.

In addition there's also a P96 Fix. Whoever got problems with Picasso 96 on WinUAE, can also take a look at the beta version.

A readme archive has been attached.

Game: Update of the 'Projekt Crashsite' web page
Markus Pohlmann writes:
Again we've got some news about the role game 'Projekt Crashsite'.

First the bad news:
Frederike, the graphic artist, hasn't shown any further interest in 'Projekt Crashsite' and has stopped her work without giving any reasons for her decision.

The search for a new graphic designer has already started.

Now the good news:
A new picture shows the new lay-out and design of the battle routine. The labelled buttons have been replaced by icons which improve the futuristic visual effects.

The KI of the battle program is halfway finished. It's much better and faster now.

Besides the battle program offers variable texts and very soon you'll be able to choose between a German or an English version. And maybe even other language in the future.

According to a vote it has just been decided that 'Projekt Crashsite' will first be further developed for the PPC and only subsequently for the 68k.

You can read up on all this at: www.projektcrashsite.de (sd) (Translation: sr)

Amiga Flame


AmigaDE: Pang style game and network-enabled games
Amiga Flame briefly reports about the development of a new platform game for AmigaDE and Kaliko's plan regarding the development of network-enabled games.

Nexus Development works on a Pang style game for AmigaDE. In this platform game there will be enemies such as UFOs and monsters, and you will have to avoid bombs and hazards such as acid, nails, and beams.

An editor will be included with the game to allow gamers to create their own levels. The developers are currently seeking musicians and beta-testers to help out.

In an interview with GetBoinged Kaliko revealed that they are working on network-enabled games. As they are still in the early stages of development there's no further information right now. In addition Kaliko also indicated a desire to create two player games for handhelds using infra-red connections as a means of communication. However, only if Amiga Inc decides to include support in AmigaDE for IR (or Bluetooth) will such titles appear.

Amiga Flame calls on everybody in a second textto encourage Virtual Programming to implement 'Kick Off 2002' for AmigaDE.

Virtual Programming already ports Payback onto AmigaDE as well as 'Kick Off 2002' onto Macinthosh. (sd) (Translation: sr)

Web directory: Relaunch of 'Made on Amiga' on 29 April 2002
On 29 April 2002 the Amiga web directory 'Made on Amiga' will go online after a year's break. At the moment you can find a countdown under the title link. Take a look at the newly designed web site with its almost 800 entries at Sneak-Preview.

'Made on Amiga' began in April 1997 as a simple web page exclusively listing web sites which had been created or were maintained on the Amiga family of computers. The list quickly grew, necessitating categorisation. Shortly after that a move was made from a static page to a searchable database.

Each site is individually reviewed and categorised. Checks are also made to confirm that the site is in fact made or maintained on an Amiga.

In the spring of 2001, 'Made on Amiga', along with a number of other GonMad / No Original Thought websites, suffered a major setback when the hosting ISP disappeared due to legal problems in the USA.

'Made on Amiga' has been given a complete overhaul and redesign. After 4 months of testing, the new site is finally ready and will be online as of 29 April 2002, exactly 5 years after its first launch. (sd) (Translation: sr)

Tao: voice recognition "VORERO" by Asahi Kasei for intent
Asahi Kasei and Tao have on 18. April 2002 announced that voice recognition engine "VORERO" will support the intent platform. As destination architecture they name the PXA250 CPU by Intel for this.

"VORERO" is a compact and efficient voice recognition software designed for car navigation, cell phones, PDAs and similar devices.

The voice recognition software is speaker independant, works at places with additional sound, needs only a little amount of memory and supports Japanese as well as the North American English.

Further information about this can be found under the title link and on the VORERO homepage. (sd) (Translation: wk)

New alias URLs and ceasing of support
Marco Frischkorn wrote:
Ceasing of support for the tutorial "AMIGA-PC Network"
As I sell my AMIGA I can't give any support for the tutorial "AMIGA-PC Network" anymore. A testing of problems etc. is because of a lack of hardware not possible anymore. The tutorial will stay online for now. But for problems or questions I recommend to have an additional look at the workshop at AUG99.

Alias URLs for Softcinema and Frogger
The mirrors of Softcinema and Frogger can be reached from Sunday, 21.04.2002, on using the following URLs:

http://frogger.highantdev.de/
http://softcinema.highantdev.de/

The old URLs remain. These were only created because of an easier reachability. (Translation: wk)

Route planner: AmiAtlas update in progress
After we have not heard any news of AmiATLAS for some time now there are some good ones:

Although there were much rumour the development of AmiATLAS will be continued. But it takes a little bit of time to program new features and to fix old bugs.

Within the next two weeks there will be a new update with extended and bug fixed cards and with new and improved additional tools. All changes will be contained in new delivered pieces of AmiATLAS 6.

Christoph Gutjahr now manages the newsletter and the mailing list of AmiATLAS. If you want to subscribe then simply send an empty mail to AmiATLAS-subscribe@freelists.org.

If you have ideas of improvement or wishes you can directly send a mail to AmiATLAS@gmx.net.

We would like to thank all Amiga freaks who rely on us and support the development! (ps) (Translation: dr)
