Mekka-Symposium 2k+1 Results
The team of Boingworld has been in Fallingbostel, Germany and has taken part
in the Mekka-Symposium 2001, the Amiga-Scene-Demo-Party at the last weekend. The
crew, very happy but really tired, has returned to Sweden and promises to write
a complete report after getting some sleep. Most impressed was the team about
the 20 shown Amiga-demos. The winner of the demo contest is the group Black Lotus
(TBL) with its demo "Perfect Circle". An overview on the results you will find
here.

New amiga-news.de main page
You sure realized by coming here today, we implemented our English news page to the same
PHP-system already used for our German page, since some time.
Now you are able to chose your preferred and private settings for displaying the start page.
There are several possibilities you can chose from the buttons above. You can determine if the page
should be displayed showing complete news messages (standard button) or with a compact version of
each message on it (compact button). You can also determine the number of messages shown or if you
rather want a titles only version (titles only button), and all that for a certain number of days.
Just play around with the buttons and press 'Show' to find out what meets your needs, best. Default
setting is 'Per page 3 days - titles only'. Furthermore you can chose if you only want messages
regarding Amiga to be displayed or if you want to see other messages, too. Just tag/untag the
respective check-box.
Once you found your preferred settings you can update your bookmark to have this available all the time.
You can also use the cookies function to have a cookie saved with your settings (check-box).
If you prefer the prior display use
amiga-news.de/en/news/standard/ for
your bookmark.
One more feature is the possibility for you to comment news messages. To do so click on the "Comments:" link
below any news message or on the number below the comments item to the right of the respective message
in the title only version.
We hope you like the new possibilities. Have fun!
Supplement 03 June 2001
Sorry, the system doesn't work properly, by now. For example it is not possible to change settings.
Be sure, we are working on it.
And sorry for the wrong date of this message, too. We are also working on that problem. We ask you for
your understanding.
Supplement 03 June 2001
Everything seems to work now, incl. changing settings for the start page. There's just this date thing left, but
only for this message. I'm currently not able to post messages for the English page, only. This might change
in the future. If you encounter any problem using the new start page, please mail me or post
a comment to this message.
Update 01.05.2002:
Accepting cookies new and updated messages will be presented in bold stamp.
Update 04.01.2003:
Here you will find more changes.
Update 25.03.2004: voluntary registry in the comment area
More details see in the following messages: 09.03.2004,
19.03.2004 and
24.03.2004.
Please, tell us what do you think about the new features!

AROS-ML - Aaron Digulla

AROS News
Since there has been some confusion, here are some reliable
infos about the relationship between AROS and MorphOS.
MorphOS wants to provide an Amiga clone and they need some
code to fill gaps in their emulation (for example, parts of
Intuition). They asked us if they could use our work and,
being an open source project, we "allowed" them to port
parts of AROS to MorphOS.
This is exactly the same what we did when Haage&Partner
approached us whether they can use our Colorwheel gadget
in OS 3.9 which we "allowed", too.
I say "allowed" because that is essentially what we want
them to do :-) AROS is meant as a test laboratory to develop
new technologies which might prove useful for the next
versions of the AmigaOS. We do this independently of
Amiga Inc, MorphOS and H&P but always with the goal to
provide them with something useful as well as providing
adventurous Amiga users with something that feels quite
familiar.
So AROS and MorphOS have not "joined forces" or become
one project. MorphOS just uses part of our work which
is what our work is meant for.

Graphic Adventure Engine 'INGA'
The graphic-adventure-engine 'INGA' now has got a homepage at
Inutilis which contains technical information as well
as the current development status.
'INGA' is an engine for graphic-adventures (Amiga) like Monkey Island 3, which has been
developed for graphic boards. There is already a game which is being developed using this system,
Ermentrud,
and more are planned.
The engine includes also a comfortable developer-package which is also presented at the homepage.
This will allow everyone to design their own adventures.

Warp3D: Voodoo3 Status
Thomas Frieden(Warp3D, Hyperion) has posted information about the status of the Voodoo3-driver
for Warp3D to the
Amiga-Mediator-Mailinglist.
The driver is now stable - even after 3 hours of continuous graphics output it didn't crash.
The command-FIFO does not work yet, so the speed is still bad.

dynAMIte CD-Edition Needs Pre-Orders
When we distributed 150 preview disks at the World of Amiga 2000 in Cologne,
we didn't know how the Amiga community would accept the then still very young
project of a TCP/IP-Dynablaster. During March 2001 we have made dynAMIte available
for free download after a long beta test stage. Our website recorded 8000 visitors
since December and there are 326 players recorded in the general database, which
have played several 10.000 games on different servers.
The success of dynAMIte has encouraged us to improve the game even more : A cd-version
with many special features, especially for fans of the explosive rods and a very
affordable price is in preparation.
However we have a small problem with the realisation at the moment:
dynAMIte is Freeware and it will remain freeware - however we can't offer the CD-Version
and its extras for free. Since the project includes a financial risk for us, we would be
very happy to receive binding pre-orders - the price will be approximately 30,- DM (15 Euro)
including shipping with prepayment. To be able to realize the project we need 100
pre-orders from private customers.
Those who are interested to give us their money in exchange of a fancy silver disk with even
more distinguished contents, can report this here.
You can however only report your general interest there.
Retailers can bindingly order the game exclusively at AMISOURCE and will obtain a discount,
there is no retail at GTI (as long as they don't order at our place themselves).
Retailers please use this form!
We thank all the persons that supported us
