AmigaOS 4.1: DvPlayer V54.8 released In early November, version 54.7 of the DvPlayer video and audio playback program distributed by A-EON Technology was released, supporting the new hardware video acceleration standard introduced with Enhancer Software V2. Now version 54.8 is available via the updater tool which "adds a workaround for a crash on exit that occurs when Odysseys version of avformat2.libary is in memory". (dr) [News message: 28.

RTG driver: P96 V3.2.1 released Jens Schönfeld (individual Computers) wrote: "We've released P96 V3.2.0 in time for Christmas. Now some changes have now been implemented after lots of customers have used it in a large variety of configurations. Errors that were reported in our support forum have been addressed immediately. The update is already available in our shop system, so every new download is providing the latest version. This time the list of changes is very extensive. The biggest changes have been in the area of blitter emulation, but even older cards could be persuaded via a software trick to use a hardware sprite as a mouse pointer, which brings noticeable speed gains. Perhaps the biggest change is that the ZZ9000 is supported with its dual-palette feature, so screen dragging is possible without color artifacts." The detailed list of changes is available in the Support Forum. (dr) [News message: 28. Dec. 2021, 07:50] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] | |||

Action game: 'Balloons' for all Amiga systems In mid-October we reported, that Achim Kern (among others 'SmartHome') and Mars Tank Attack) had announced an action game called 'Balloons' which now is available for all Amiga systems. It is a remake written in Hollywood 9 of the original Balloons game written by Enrique Mecklenburg Serkovic.
In 'Balloons' you have to shoot those very balloons at a fair, with the difficulty increasing from level to level: with more balloons, shorter time and limited number of shots. Likewise, in higher levels, certain sequences are given, such as three blue, two red, four green balloons. The game is available for all platforms for which the Hollywood Player exists and thus for AmigaOS 3/4, MorphOS, WarpOS and AROS. Special archives (with adapted icons) have been created by the author for AmigaOS 3 and 4. (dr) [News message: 28.

BASIC compiler: AQB 0.8.1 By his compiler AQB, Günter Bartsch aims to implement a modern, clean, Amiga compatible and future-proof BASIC that is geared to, but no clone of Microsoft's AmigaBASIC and QuickBASIC, respectively.
After last week's release of version 0.8.0, which included a source level debugger, the author elaborates on the new version 0.8.1 (detailed changelog): "I've been working on AQB a bit more after there was a lot of feedback on the different channels - starting of course from the amiga-news forum to people making YouTube videos about AQB. I have now released a first update for the 0.8.x series - there are a few new commands and features, but there are also important bugfixes for AmigaOS 3.2 and RTG users. This is also accompanied by editor improvements, most notably the editor now uses the text font set via preferences instead of stubbornly using its own / preset fonts. This is a side effect of the RTG renderer - the previous text renderer could only handle 8 bit wide fonts (still used with these on native screen), while the new RTG renderer can handle arbitrary fonts (but is slower on native Amigas on planar screen is slower)."

Arcade game 'Jump!': Little review of the alpha version The Polish developer Markus Duda is currently putting the finishing touches to his Yoomph implementation for the Amiga, which was originally written for the Atari (amiga-news.de reported). In the game, now called Jump!, you have to move through a three-dimensional tunnel by means of a bouncing Amiga ball and hit various (bonus) surfaces (preview video). The target platform is an Amiga 1200 with 8 MB Fast RAM. The finished game should have the following features:
We were kindly allowed to test the alpha version of the game. As indicated, we used an A1200 (without turbo card) with 8MB Fast RAM. However, the game could not be started on a workbench screen with all kinds of icons and possibly background images, since 2MB chip RAM are mandatory. If in doubt, boot without startup sequence. The player is greeted with a casual, futuristic music and the following startup screen:  You don't have to spend forever on the control options, clear and concise:  Since you do not know exactly what to expect, better to play it safe and selected the easy mode...:  Let's go! And already the beginning is fun: The tunnel approaches from some distance, you are literally drawn into the game. Which is supported by the now starting more dramatic music:  The task is supposedly simple: hit the orange tiles and do not fall into any holes or missing rows during this hunt, otherwise you will be lost in the vastness of space...:  If you jump on tiles with an arrow, you can skip these dangerous spots. You have to be careful, though, because the entire tube keeps turning a bit. It gets really crazy and absolutely extraordinary when, in the middle of the first level, the ball has to be kept on course sideways and 'upside down' at the edge of the tube. Absolutely amazing:  You may not believe it: The first level was mastered. Yes, I know, in light mode. Here, pleasantly enough, you don't have to hit all the orange tiles, but are allowed to miss ten. But let's take a look at the second level, which is a real challenge right from the start: Several times, 'You died!' is held in front of your nose after a few seconds. Why is that?  Ahhh, there are tiles with holes and even meaner: broken tiles.... I was totally captivated by the game. Should there be a two-player mode, then I can already see myself sitting in front of the Amiga 1200 for hours on end with a buddy, just like in the good old days, taking turns to hunt for points a la 'Pinball Dreams'. The game can be pre-ordered at the title link as a digital variant for 29 Euros or as a 'boxed version' for 45 Euros plus shipping (depending on the destination). (dr) [News message: 26.
