`28.Jan.2024`	Programming language: Amiga C/C++ Visual Studio Code Extension 1.7.6 Bartman', member of the demo group 'Abyss', provides with 'amiga-debug' a 'Visual Studio Code' extension for "compiling, debugging and profiling Amiga C/C++ programs compiled by the bundled gcc 13.1 with the bundled WinUAE/FS-UAE and GDB." (YouTube video). Changes of version 1.7.6: NEW: modified template project to include -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections, --gc-sections flags and changed assembly files to use unique sections so linker can better strip unused code/data NEW: updated type_traits include FIX: fix MacOS issue (dr) [News message: 28.

`28.Jan.2024` PPA (ANF)	Developer tool: Installation package for GCC with accessories Grzegorz 'Krashan' Kraszewski provides an installation package at the title link, which facilitates the installation of the native compiler GCC 2.95.3 under AmigaOS, contains useful additions (e.g. make and diff) and also integrates it with the AmigaOS 3.2 NDK. Required are at least an 68020 CPU and 32 MB Fast-RAM. It is planned to extend it with additional development packages (e.g. MUI, XPK, AHI and the like). (snx) [News message: 28.

`25.Jan.2024`	AmigaOS 4: Code analysis with Cpppcheck V2.13r1 In September 2022, George 'walkero' Sokianos made an AmigaOS 4 port of Cppcheck, a static code analysis tool for the C and C++ programming languages, available for the first time. The tool is designed to be able to analyze your C/C++ code even if it has non-standard syntax common in embedded projects. The latest official version 2.13 has now been ported.

`25.Jan.2024`	Programming assistance: AmiBlitz 3 templates for RTG Amigas and Apollo V4 Sami Vehmaa wants to encourage more people to develop games for the Amiga platform and to this end offers templates for the RTG version of AmiBlitz 3 on itch.io with "AB3_Templates". After he had already started to publish the source codes of some games written with it last year (amiga-news.de reported), he has now not only made the complete package available free of charge, but has also published a version specially adapted for the Apollo Vampire V4 and called "Amiblitz3 Vampire!".

`24.Jan.2024`	Game Construction Kit: RedPill 0.9.33 RedPill, developed by Carlos Peris, is a game construction kit written in Amiblitz 3.99, which allows the development of games from various genres (e.g. Agonman). RedPill is compatible with AGA and ECS, the "player" for playing the finished creations requires a total of 1.5 MB RAM. Jens 'Farbfinsternis' Henschel has written a tutorial. As the developer explains to us, the new version 0.9.33 now allows the special output of the game code for an A500 or similar system by using fewer resources and disabling some functions. There are also a lot of general optimisations and a new screen for editing and converting images, as can be seen in this YouTube video. The changes in detail: Added a new Build Game option to target low end machines (like A500 with 1MB). This reduces the maximum number of level objects (from 64 to 32) and disables some code like CD32 audio and storage among others to reduce memory needed and increase performance of the games. Multiple optimizations in all fronts reducing the CPU and memory required by games. When forcing NTSC resolution the game will use less Chip memory. Static objects are now updated first, I hope this do not break old games as sometimes the execution order could be different. Added a new screen for Frame manipulation, copy&pasting, rotating, scaling, can be done in this screen. Find more information in the guide. Default input key for Fire 1 has been changed to left caps key. In Game Setup screen there is a new Mem Info section that will give an estimation of the memory used by the game. Take it with a pinch of salt. Build does not copy diskfont.library anymore as it is not needed. Fix in Collision Down being triggered when there was any collision. Optimization in tile accessing. Small optimization in palette processing. Optimization in action trigger processing. Compression for SFX has been deactivated as sometimes it fails and others prevent loading. In Screen setup screen now you can decide if you want subpixel scrolling or not. When Building a project there are warning messages if the files cannot be compressed. When loading a project, this loading action now can be cancelled. Files ".pal" in projects are now used in a different way. Camera limits code has been simplified. Fixes in the FX rendering. Action trigger Frame by Angle fixes. Animation frames are now cleared when starting a new project. When compressing projects, if the asset is not properly compressed now it tries to load the file without compression. Refactoring of level loading and tileset loading that reduces the exe size and memory usage. Refactoring of the main loop camera and display system. Trigger actions system optimization. Small optimization in Change Tile trigger. (dr) [News message: 24. Jan. 2024, 04:53] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
