Individual Computers: Buddha Plus One can be preordered
Press release: The new Buddha Plus One IDE controller adds new features to a 27-year old design that has been extremely successful over the decades. We're proud to say that even after 38 years of Amiga history, we've introduced novel design ideas how to make installation easier, less error-prone and much friendlier in terms of preservation of the original cases. Read all about the new features and ideas on the Buddha Plus One product page.

Shipments will start in late January 2024. If you order a Buddha Plus One and an X-Surf-100 networking card during the pre-order phase, we'll give you 15,- EUR off the total(*). Unfortunately, this shop system can't do that automatically or with a voucher code. If you pay with a wire transfer, just deduct 15,- EUR from the total quoted by the shop, and if you pay with PayPal, we'll make a 15,- EUR refund on the next business day. (dr)

Puzzle game: Spheroid
In April 2022, we introduced the puzzle game, which was still in development at the time, in detail, and now Andrew Vaisey has published "Spheroid" (YouTube video).

He had already started writing Spheroid in AMOS in the mid-90s. When he restored all the data from his old HD some time ago, the AMOS version no longer ran. However, he liked the idea of the game and so he rewrote it from scratch in Blitz Basic 2. It offers 50 levels and requires at least 1MB of RAM. (dr)

Game development: IFF/ILBM exporter v1.3 for Aseprite
Recently We introduced a script written by Prismatic Realms for the image editor Aseprite that converts graphics into an IFF/ILBM file. Version 1.3 has now been released with the following changes:
  • Aseprite documents where the cel image size is larger than the sprite size are now exported correctly to IFF.
  • Transparent colour index is now handled properly.  You can now draw your sprites using a transparent background if you wish. Those transparent pixels will be translated to the colour index that you've defined as your transparent colour (which you can see/alter in Aseprite by selecting the "Sprite" --> "Properties" menu option.)

AmigaOS 4: Creating PDFs with "Compression" V0.30 (beta version)
In addition to the ignition spreadsheet and the LüttjeBookholler financial management software, Achim Pankalla is also working on a third project: similar to a DTP programme, Compression allows text and graphics to be set and the document, for example a manual, then output in PDF format (amiga-news.de reported). A German manual is included in the "Extra" folder, the tools ZIP and UnZIP are required. Changes since version 0.20:
  • fixed a layout-problem in block-layout
  • faster and optimised pdf generation
  • now recognize changing the headline-props and warning at leaving the project
  • optimised spelling-correction, now it is possible to add a word to database and reduce the the number of requests
  • fixed and updated manual
  • fixed a problem with different screen resulotion beside FullHD

Creating Amiga Reaction GUIs: ReBuild 0.8.0 (beta version)
In mid-November, we introduced Darren 'dmcoles' Cole's "ReBuild" in detail, with which it should be possible to create graphical user interfaces for ReAction, the evolution of ClassAct. Changes of version 0.8.0:
  • change ActivateGadget to ActivateLayoutGadet as the old call was causing lockups on tab key
  • add hint info on code gen form, list manager form, menu editing form, arexx editor form and the main window
  • force number of ticks on fuelgauge to 2 if set to 1 as 1 causes a crash
  • fix spelling error of Backdrop on window properties form
  • fix enabling/disabling of certain buttons/menus on the main form
  • add tutorial files created by Michael Bergmann
The author asks you to test ReBuild extensively and report any bugs to him.
