The "Scorpion Engine" (video of development of vertical scroll demos) by Erik 'earok' Hogan enables the development of games. The engine itself is not open source, but all included demos and demo games are. The editor itself runs on Windows. Graphics are imported as PNG files, for level creation the editor Tiled is used. For sounds, music and animations Amiga formats (mod, 8svx, anim5) are used. Changes of version 2023.4:
  • Improved copper rainbow support on Amiga, including being able to set any of the 256 colors and at 24 bit color depth
  • Support for VGM music on Mega Drive (XGM driver from SGDK)
  • Support for saving on Mega Drive (SRAM)
  • Ability to support more than 32 active actors at one time
  • Improved Cut/Paste/Undo/Redo functionality
  • Support for byte arrays - this will be expanded in future with word array support

Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.16.2
Keir Fraser's "Greaseweazle" does - similar to Kryoflux - read the magnetic information on a floppy disk independently from the format used and saves as much information as possible to generate a so-called "Flux Level Image" in Supercard format (SCP), which enables reading and back-writing of copy-protected disks (amiga-news.de reported)

The adapter gets connected between a floppy disk drive - e.g. a standard 3.5" PC one - and a USB port of the PC or Mac. Version 1.16.2 of the Greaseweazle Tools provide the following changes:
  • DCP, DIM: Fix image import
  • Flux: Emit one revolution of flux where possible, rather than two
