Event: Pictures of the Sharp exhibiton at the IFA-Berlin
Ralf Himmel visited the IFA and made a small movie. Due to the fact that this movie has a size of 15mb he extracted some pictures and wrote some lines about what is depicted.
The special thing about the AmigaDE seems to be that the whole control panel fly into the visible screen area from the left
picture 1 (48 KB).
The controls of a game are looking realy cool. Picture 2 (64 KB) shows a megaball version. The blue background and the board came from the left side of the screen.
A program can be started by touching on a graphic of the controlpanel. Picture 3 (73 KB) shows a tetris clone. Apart from the costs it could become one of the most beautiful gameboys ever.
Picture 4 (82 KB) depicts the device running a 'normal' application that needs more power of the cpu then the AmigaDE (at least in my oppinion). This picture also shows that the display is still readable even if your point of view is not vertical above the device. (ps) (Translation: sk)

AmigaDE: memory_profiler_0colon2
On 5. September 2001 Fleecy Moss released an update for the memory profiler
for the AmigaDE SDK.
In this version the macros were moved to '/ami/sys/inc/', since the '/ami' directory
was supposed to contain anything regarding Amiga, including programs and files coming
from Amiga, third-party developers, and users. '/ami/sys/' will be the basic directory
for any Amiga in-house development.
Tao extended the ami_get_tmem macro with the possibility to determine the array.

Tales of Tamar: LARP meeting, Amiga and Atari update
From 21. to 23. September 2001 the first medieval 'Tales of Tamar' meeting
will take place near Kassel,
Germany.
On that weekend a LARP-Con (a mixture of adventure, entertainment, fun, and suspense)
will take place in a comfortable and romantic ambient. LARP means LiveAdventureRolePlaying
and gives the Tales of Tamar players the chance to put their game character from the game
into reality. Everything will be of medieval style. The players will have to wear proper clothing,
they will talk medieval, there will be fights between the Draks and some players and in the
evening they will discuss the current political situation on Tamar and drink Met
(medieval honey wine).
Among others a medieval band will be there and even the radio station EinsLive ! This radio
station has several millions listeners each day and they want to do an one-hour broadcast about
the Con and Tales of Tamar.
Since the Amiga show planned for that date was canceled especially Amiga users are
heartily invited to attend that meeting. Detailed information about the LARP-Con are to
find here.
A new race was put to the world of Tamar in the AMIGA version V0.37 - the Orks.
So the ancient war between Orks and humans is blazing again. The Orks are a non-human race
and controlled by the ToT-server, only. Usually they come from the mountains and try to
create their own realms. They strictly start to fight against human players and will leave
nothing undone to displace the humans from Tamar, again.
Now it's the players' turn. They might have to put aside their quarrels in order to be able
to have the armies available required to fight the Orks.
Time will show if they will succeed.
The following was entirely ported from the Amiga version to the ATARI version V0.24:
the town, the tavern, the online chat, the mail editor, rune stone, the rain, the green triangles (vacation mode).
This makes the Atari version becoming more and more interesting. Also for that section still testers are wanted.
The Tales of Tamar team welcomes Atari users.

Amiga Arena news
Amiga Arena - special price offer
In cooperation with Ronny Schütz the Amiga Arena makes a special price for XTrace
possible. XTrace is an image processing program which allows to trace pictures in
bitmap format and save them in a vector format.
This is very useful for the use of pictures in DTP programs. Some basic knowledge
on desktop publishing, especially technical terms, are required to make full use of
the possibilities of XTrace.
The pictures can be processed before and after tracing in a variety of ways to achieve
as good results as possible. Some features of XTrace:
- change of color
- digital filter sequences
- support of color curves
- internal list of about 400 colors with own names
- histogram view, stretching and equalization
- conversion between different color types
- powerful palette editor
- aspect / DPI change
- rotation (three-dimensional)
- full transparency support
- full clipboard and XPK support
- CyberGraphX/Picasso96 support
- fullscreen and font sensitive user interface
You'll find more information at the
XTrace-Website.
With this special price offer you have the chance to show the developer
Ronny Schütz that there's
still interest in XTrace. He'd be happy about feedback and suggestions.

Tool: PlayMOD v1.8 released
Andreas Falkenhahn writes:
PlayMOD was just released on the Airsoft Softwair homepage.
PlayMOD plays, as the name says, Protracker and Noisetracker
modules however with a slight difference from all the other
players: PlayMOD is primarily meant for playing MODs by double-clicking
the icon of the file. So it's useful for CD-ROMs
with a lot of MODs with icons which have PlayMOD as the default
tool. PlayMOD was also used on the "The Best Of Airsoft Softwair
Gold Edition" CD-ROM.
Additionally it plays IFF-8SVX files of any size. PlayMOD is
a small, system-friendly program and runs either with or without
a GUI (user-configurable!). PlayMOD is Freeware and can be
downloaded from the Airsoft Softwair homepage (title link).
