Pencil and paper game: Cropky
Cropky is an Amiga version of Dots - an abstract strategy game played by two people on a sheet of squared paper.
The rules are a bit different from original Dots game - your aim is not to capture enemy dots but to link two dots together with a line drawn in any direction you want as long as you don't cross already existing lines or you have to draw another line (the dot is visible not farther than one square distance - vertically, horizontally or diagonally).
Cropky is a conversion of a game under the same title for Atari XL/XE. The original idea comes from Krzysztof 'Kaz' Ziembik who was persuaded to give permission to create Amiga version by Mariusz 'Ramos' Rozwadowski. With the abilities and knowledge of Adam Stach (programmer), Piotr 'Piesiu' Radecki (graphics) and Piotr 'Pece' Cieślik (music) they created a game running on any Amiga with at least 1 MB of RAM. The game can be downloaded as ADF file or LHA archive. The manual so far is Polish only. (snx)

Indivision AGA Mk2: Config Tool 1.1, Core 2.6
Individual Computers has released an update for the configuration tool of the scandoubler Indivision AGA Mk2. With this update it is now possible to save complete configurations and to switch back to the last saved configuration with the Undo-function.
Additionally a software update of the "core" of the scandoubler was released which fixes some bugs:
- Counters for upper and lower padding areas have been corrected:
The number of lines on the output side is now correct, even if black
borders need to be added at the top and bottom.
- if the output side has reached the end of pixel data in memory, it
has ended the line prematurely. This lead to an unexpected increase
of output frequencies. These new cores now insert black pixels until
the user-set number of output pixels is reached. In other words: Even
if you enter an insanely large output window that the Amiga does not
output, the frequency that the config tool displays will be met.
- the blue colour component was shifted to the right - fixed in this
core.
- the lower 4 bits of the green colour component was taken from the
neighbouring pixel, which is also fixed in V2.6.
- the critical path of pixel data going into and out of the memory
chip has been shortened: The flickering vertical red line does not
appear any more.
- some power settings of the FPGA were way too high. These have been
reduced to the required minimum, so the FPGA does not crash any more
when higher pixel clocks are being used.
- the two rightmost pixels of the screen were not displayed at all,
which is corrected in V2.6. If you still see a vertical red line at
the right border, then this is an indicator that you are trying to
view a part of the screen that is already way outside the overscan
area. Although the Amiga does not output this line the way that
Indivision dosplays it, we will NOT fix this. Instead, you should
set the output window size to a sane amount of pixels that comes
halfway close to what the Amiga is generating.
Another way of fixing that red line is to use the tool Borderblank:
This will also get rid of the red line.

AmigaOS 4 / MorphOS: Cinnamon Writer 0.90
Claus Desler's Cinnamon Writer is a text processing software whch can import RTF and DocX format files. It also has a spell checking and can restore lost documents. Thanks to a hardware donation of William 'Fraggle' Morris, version 0.90 as beta version is also available for MorphOS for the first time. An AROS-port will follow soon.
The graphical user-interface was rewritten and now is completely based on MUI. "Other improvements include a new memory and indexing system allowing you to work on very big documents on machines with only little memory."

AmigaOS 4: StormC5-Editor available
Press release: Wehrheim, Germany, May 5th, 2013. - We are glad to present the first component of the StormC5 IDE, StormC5ED. In the tradition of the previous versions, we placed high values in the development of StormC5ED ensuring the popular Amiga look-and-feel. We set high prorities on high speed and modern editor functionalities. Due to the intensive use of operating system functions of AmigaOS 4.1, StormC5ED is available exclusively for the new Amiga operating system and will be further aligned it in the future. We would like to point out that much of the Proceeds of the StormC5 editor will be incorporated in the future development of the StormC5 environment.
Join now, in a new kind of editing on AmigaOS 4.x!
StormC5ED is available via download or CD. The download version costs only 29,95 Euro and the CD version 34,95 Euro. Order at once from our Online-Shop.
The following outstanding capabilities are offered by the new StormC5ED:
Amiga-Look-and-Feel:
All keyboard shortcuts correspond to the AmigaOS specifications, toolbar images are supported, tooltips, etc.
AppWindow/AppIcon support:
Dragging a file icon in an editor window or on the editor appicon will open that file.
Extreme fast syntax highlighing:
Lightning fast syntax highlighting, Recognized words can be highlighted with colour and/or font attributes.
File classes:
The driver for the syntax highlightning are applied as external modules. As a result, the editor is extensible for future tasks.
File classes do currently exist for the following languages:
- C/C++ (minimum requirement SDK 53.20),
- Catalog-Descriptions (for use with CatComp),
- AmigaGuide(R),
- ARexx
Definitionbar:
For recognized words the relevant definition/Quick-Help is displayed.
Bookmarks:
In a document an umlimited number of bookmarks can be set and jumped to with a keyboard shortcut.
Folding parts of a document via definable fold marks:
For example, so in C/C++ files, the method bodies are folded away for clarity and better readability of the code.
MDI- or TDI-Userinterface:
Texts can be displayed either in a separate window for each text (MDI - multiple document interface) or all together in a single window with Tab control (TDI - Tabbed Document Interface).
Automatic indentation (atm. only for C/C++):
On typing of a character that initiates or terminates a block, the editor can react with different variations to increase or reduce the indentation ("keep your source code clean and tidy").
Visualization of tabulators, spaces and linefeeds:
Optional displaying of these characters to find missing tabs in a "makefile", for example.
The GUI of the editor is available in 7 languages:
In the basic package, the StormC5Ed interface has already been translated into 7 languages: German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Danish and Russian are currently available. Other languages will follow.
More information about StormC5ED find you at our product website.
