Database: MUIBase is now BeeBase, version 1.0 available
Steffen Gutmann has been maintaining a programmable relational database called MUIBase since 1998, most recently version 4.5 had been released in mid-July. Since the open source program is now available for various other platforms (Windows, Mac OS, Linux) in addition to Amiga systems, the name 'MUIBase' was no longer optimal, however. The author seems to see it that way, too: Yesterday BeeBase 1.0 was released.

The first release of BeeBase is practically identical with MUIBase 4.5, new are an Italian translation, furthermore a bug in the installation process under AmigaOS 4 has been fixed. The pictograms in the current archive seem to be corrupted, the author has already been informed. (cg)

Amiga Blitz Basic Game Jam: Introduction of shoot 'em up "ACE"
The Amiga Blitz Basic Game Jam (amiga-news.de reported) runs until November 1, 2022. In a small series we present game projects that are currently being developed for this competition. So in the first article we presented the games "Deathmine" and "Capacitor's Revenge" by 'PixelPlop', the second article described in detail 'TheoTheoderich's' turn-based building and trading game "Settle the World". The third past of our series today is about the shoot 'em up "ACE" and its programmer 'DarkGiver'.

In his game, optimized for standard OCS/ECS Amigas, you try to shoot your way through the enemy ranks with an airplane. The gameplay is reminiscent of predecessors like Banshee. As the developer tells us, the game is still in the early stages and the first project for the Amiga: "I like to experiment and understand things and the better way to understand an amiga is probably progamming it."

When he was 10, his parents would have bought an Amiga 500 and he played around a bit with Amiga Basic. He started learning programming seriously in 1990 when Frenchman François Lionet published the AMOS programming language. Later, around 1993, he got an Amiga 1200 and started programming again with Blitz Basic a few years ago. When he got himself some Amiga hardware again a few years ago, he started using it again.

Time permitting, he would like to write easy to understand examples in Blitz Basic covering many aspects of Amiga programming. To motivate people to start programming and enjoy a more creative way to use the Amiga. (dr)
