`11.Jan.2024` Commotron (ANF)	Wireless Gamepad: Turbo 2000 Super V2 The Turbo 2000 Super gamepad from Commotron is wireless and has a fourth fire button for jumping (amiga-news.de reported). Now the manufacturer is showing a revised and, with a recommended retail price of 29.90 euros, cheaper version 2 of the pad on Facebook, which is said to have already arrived at the first dealers and is also available in two additional designs: Commodore Cream and Sinclair Spectrum. The Turbo 2000 Super V2 offers an additional two-pin connector header on the dongle, so that one can solder a two wire cable into the computer or gaming console and connect two independent buttons to the dongle. For example one can connect buttons from Gotek Drive selectors, Reset button and Game-Select buttons, or turbo-module buttons to the dongle. With a new mapping selection one can trigger those two buttons wirelessly from the gamepad by pressing Fire 2 or 3 for one of the two pins. Pin 1 or Pin 2 on the header connector will deliver Ground (GND) signal when pressing Fire Button 2 or 3. (snx) [News message: 11.

`09.Jan.2024` Patreon	Game Construction Kit: Scorpion Engine 2023.5 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 2023.5: Animation editor has been updated to make it much easier to trigger custom events on frames, including audio, shooting other actors, setting direction and speed - as well as the ability to have numerous melee collision boxes on every frame. "Intellibox" allows you to type in a number of code commands directly into the code tab. Dynamic Patterns allows levels on Mega Drive to have massive tilesets. Ability to freeze and unfreeze actors.
