MorphOS: Strategy game "Stratagus"
Ali Akcaagac has ported the realtime strategy engine
Stratagus to MorphOS.
It is not a complete game: Stratagus is only an "engine" which works an external "dataset"
which contains the whole information of a game.
There are several datasets (in different levels of development) and it also works with
files of the commercial game "Warcraft".
You can find a survey about
the different compatible datasets on the official homepage of the program.
Screenshots of the MorphOS-version: 1,
2, 3,
4.

SongPlayer v1.62 now also available for AmigaOS
The Amiga version of SongPlayer 1.62 is available now.
The CDDA management will be improved but you will find a new tag editor for that. The CPU consumption comes back to a low level and a great improvement is the better mp3 support (still no vorbis at the moment).
Another version allows you to use SongPlayer without any hardware hit (full AHI and no filter access). It is well oriented to be used with Amithlon and OS4 under emulation. (snx)

Demo scene: Where should the next Breakpoint party be held?
At the title link there is a poll about the demo scene party Breakpoint.
Because of differences about the future of Bingen's Bundeswehr depot, where the party was held this and last year, this poll should help the organizers by their descision if it will be worth to try to obtain a license for that depot for the next year again or if it will be better to switch to the event hall of the city.
Because of the direct effect the answers of that poll will take, the organizers ask to take the time to honest and really think about the answers before giving them.

MorphOS: Sound Exchange ("SoX") 12.17 (noixemul)
SoX (also known as Sound eXchange) is a commandline tool which translates sound files between different file formats, and optionally applies various sound effects.
SoX is intended as the Swiss Army knife of sound processing tools. It doesn't do anything very well, but sooner or later it comes in very handy.
The no-ixemul MorphOS version was build against libmad and libmp3lame and comes therefore with mp3 support. Following formats are supported:
aiff, auto, avr, cdr, cvs, dat, vms, gsm, hcom, maud, mp3, nul, prc, raw, sb, sf, sl, smp, sndt, sph, 8svx, sw, txw, voc, wav, wve and a few more.
