`02.Jul.2022`	Preview video: Kung Fu action 'Devil's Temple' Devil's Temple features 10 stages of intense arcade kung fu action based on the classic Irem games Kung Fu Master and Vigilante. Over 300 frames of animation were packed into the game and every cycle of performance was used on the Amiga A500. The game will adapt to upgrades, so additional chip ram will result in better music, AGA will provide additional colors and a greater variety of enemies in the game. Yesterday, a new preview video was released for the game that is currently in development. As the developer writes, he had assumed to release Devil's Temple in May or June, but he just didn't have the necessary time to finish the game. The current progress is shown in the latest video: The game now has a hiscore system The game now has an attract mode The game has a menu system included allowing the player to modify game settings The background video music is now all included Only three elements of the game are still missing: the final boss, the coding of the final sequence and the optimization of the code. The game is already available for pre-order as a boxed edition. Likewise, a demo version of the first stage is available on itch.io. (dr) [News message: 02.

`02.Jul.2022`	Article: Achieving period-correct graphics in WinUAE emulator Some time ago John Novak published a detailed article in his blog that explores how to best display Amiga graphics with today's monitors using the WinUAE emulator. The point is to experience the Amiga system as users did with original hardware and possibly still do today - as far as today's emulation technology allows. The goal is that the emulated graphics are as close as possible to the output of CRT screens used with the Amigas in the 80s and 90s. The WinUAE Shader Pack is used for this. (dr) [News message: 02.

`01.Jul.2022`	Blog: Introduction of text editor "reED" for AROS and AmigaOS 3 The blog "Amiga alive" not only reports about various software and hardware news, the operator also presents his own, partly older projects in the series AMIGA alive DevLog from time to time. In the latest blog entry, the C-programmer will report about an editor he started a long time ago under the name "proWEB": an HTML editor with advanced features like sophisticated TABLE creation, FRAME management etc. First started for AmigaOS 3, then continued for AROS, but finally stalled. Development of the editor has now resumed under the name "reED". As the developer reports, "it took me just a day to make all code adjustments from AROS' gcc to AmigaOS' vbcc, including lots of stylistic improvements, and I got a working executable. The code now doesn't use any special compiler features, and should work with gcc, probably SAS-C, etc. just as it does with vbcc. There were a couple of minor differences between AmigaOS and AROS that needed to be taken care of - for example my old AROS system used a font called "ttcourier" instead of "courier"". "reED" has its own GUI layout engine, it has a large function menu (many functions are not yet implemented), uses ASL file requesters, can edit multiple documents, it can highlight/cut/copy/paste - and it has real tabs with keyboard control. Even though the editor has been made to work, the developer is still considering whether to continue this project. If, then both AmigaOS 3 and AROS should be supported, whereby he has the hope for an updated vbcc for AROS. As the developer Frank Wille told Amiga-News on request, this is currently not planned. Reason: More than 15 years ago he had created an experimental version. But the official AROS header files are full of gcc-specific (i.e. not ISO-C compliant) instructions and therefore not usable on any other compiler. (dr) [News message: 01.
