Amiga Inc.: AmigaOS 4 Screenshots online (Update II)
The first screenshots of the GUI of the upcoming AmigaOS 4 are now available at the title link. These shots depict only some new features like configurable sliders, menus and system-images. Another new feature is the possibility to move a window partly out of the visible screen.
Additional screenshots will soon be published.
GUI: Temporary screenshots of the AmigaOS 4 GUI
The published screenshots are only temporary and they do not depict the look and feel of the final AmigaOS 4.0 GUI. The work is still in progress.
The big improvements of intuition (made beneath the surface) are not visible in these screenshots...
These screenshots only show a few elements may or may not be part of the default look and feel of AmigaOS 4. The important point about these shots is the fact that the new intuition can, in many parts, be configured according to the needs of the user.
In the end you will be the one who desides how the new AmigaOS 4 will look like...
Menu: Preview of the AmigaOS 4 Menus
This is no MagicMenu or something similar; this is intuition! The work is still in progress and new features, like changing the menu icons, will be added.
Update 25.04.2002:
Ben Hermans from Hyperion stated on ANN:
In the last 48 hours interest in the OS 4 screenshots was such that it threatens to overwhelm the server.
- 50000 visitors (!) - 9000000 page views - 2.2 million files transfered - 17.67 GB of traffic All within 48 HOURS.

Sport: Runcoach - runner's training program for Amiga PC
Achim Klopsch writes:
For people who are into running and who are preparing themselves for a
marathon, putting together their individual training program is a great
help. A typical question would be: How do I need to set up my training in
order to improve my time for the half-marathon by 5 minutes?
Subsequently, a program will be devised up to the time of the competition
which consists of the best possible combination of different training blocks.
Runcoach, available in Aminet, is such a program (freeware) also for our
Amiga. It's the realization of the well-known PC version by the Australian
Paul Shields. Erik Engdahl is the maker of the Amiga version. Unfortunately
he's very busy at work. However, further development might be possible if
there are enough users.
Therefore whoever is interested in using Runcoach, please contact
me.
Further development could comprise:
- Possibility to print
- Training diary
- Localisation
- Import of data from pulse watches of the Polar series (e.g S410) etc.
Your comments are very much appreciated.

Emulator: WinUAE Beta for sound test plus P96-Fix
On 21 April 2001 a new beta version of the Amiga emulator 'WinUAE' for Windows
was released. This version is supposed to test whether the sound has improved.
The sound doesn't block UAE in any case, so that speed problems are not supposed to occur.
In addition there's also a P96 Fix. Whoever got problems with Picasso 96 on
WinUAE, can also take a look at the beta version.
A readme archive has been attached.

Game: Update of the 'Projekt Crashsite' web page
Markus Pohlmann writes:
Again we've got some news about the role game 'Projekt Crashsite'.
First the bad news:
Frederike, the graphic artist, hasn't shown any further interest in
'Projekt Crashsite' and has stopped her work without giving any reasons
for her decision.
The search for a new graphic designer has already started.
Now the good news:
A new picture shows the new lay-out and design of the battle routine.
The labelled buttons have been replaced by icons which improve the futuristic
visual effects.
The KI of the battle program is halfway finished. It's much better and faster now.
Besides the battle program offers variable texts and very soon you'll be
able to choose between a German or an English version. And maybe even other
language in the future.
According to a vote it has just been decided that 'Projekt Crashsite' will
first be further developed for the PPC and only subsequently for the 68k.
You can read up on all this at:

AmigaDE: Pang style game and network-enabled games
Amiga Flame briefly
reports about
the development of a new platform game for AmigaDE and Kaliko's plan regarding
the development of network-enabled games.
Nexus
Development works on a Pang style game for AmigaDE.
In this platform game there will be enemies such as UFOs and
monsters, and you will have to avoid bombs and hazards such as acid, nails,
and beams.
An editor will be included with the game to allow gamers to create
their own levels. The developers are currently seeking musicians and
beta-testers to help out.
In an
interview
with GetBoinged Kaliko revealed that
they are working on network-enabled games. As they are still in the early
stages of development there's no further information right now.
In addition Kaliko also indicated a desire to create two player games
for handhelds using infra-red connections as a means of communication.
However, only if Amiga Inc decides to include support in AmigaDE for IR
(or Bluetooth) will such titles appear.
Amiga Flame calls on everybody in a second
textto encourage
Virtual Programming to implement
'Kick Off 2002' for AmigaDE.
Virtual Programming already ports Payback onto AmigaDE as well as
'Kick Off 2002' onto Macinthosh.

Web directory: Relaunch of 'Made on Amiga' on 29 April 2002
On 29 April 2002 the Amiga web directory 'Made on Amiga' will go online
after a year's break. At the moment you can find a countdown under the
title link. Take a look at the newly designed web site with its almost
800 entries at Sneak-Preview.
'Made on Amiga' began in April 1997 as a simple web page exclusively listing
web sites which had been created or were maintained on the Amiga family of
computers. The list quickly grew, necessitating categorisation. Shortly
after that a move was made from a static page to a searchable database.
Each site is individually reviewed and categorised. Checks are also made
to confirm that the site is in fact made or maintained on an Amiga.
In the spring of 2001, 'Made on Amiga', along with a number
of other GonMad / No Original Thought websites, suffered a major setback when
the hosting ISP disappeared due to legal problems in the USA.
'Made on Amiga' has been given a complete overhaul and
redesign. After 4 months of testing, the new site is finally ready and
will be online as of 29 April 2002, exactly 5 years after its first launch.
