Foundation News
Two Foundation products have been announced for this year. First there'll be "Foundation: Directors Cut"
which is a re-release of the original Foundation, containing version 1.25, supporting graphics cards,
gouraud shading and more special effects. Regarding the very low price (£14.99) of the re-release this
is the chance for everyone who "forgot" to buy this game 'til now.
The second one will be "Foundation Edge", which is Foundation, completely rewritten in portable
C++ (which could mean a PPC version of Foundation) and a totally different interface. The
Foundation's Edge Homepage is already
online. More information will be available there by the end of the week.
Update News:
In the next days a new update will be released. Paul Burkey is working on version 1.25, which will
be included on the CD "Foundation: Directors Cut". The support for Foundation and FoundationDC will
be continued.
Paul Burkey answered to an eMail:

Great! You will certainly not have to wait quite so long for this new game to arive! You'll be playing
it for christmas!

The re-release CD, "Foundation: Directors Cut" will be released as soon as possible. I'm currently
compiling the CD myself. It will contain the original game but with the next update (V1.25) already
installed. If you already have the original Foundation CD then you can download the update from the
Foundation Homepage or possibly find it on a PD disk or cover of a Magazine. However the price of
"Foundation: Directors Cut" will be much cheaper than the original Foundation (Probably 50 DM) so for
anyone who doesn`t yet have Foundation, this is an ideal chance to get it.
Foundation's Edge will be a whole new game. More details of both products will be made available in the
next week. Also, you might like to know that Foundation is now published by Epic Marketing (Islona).
This will be announced in the next few days but you are free to publish that information if you wish.

Flightsimulator "Flight Gear" Is Open Source
Amiga game writers should have look at the titlelink, where source code of the
flight sim "Flight Gear" can be found. A hardware accelerated MESA or Open GL
is required, so this should be an ideal project for a Warp3D powered MESA PPC
Amiga.

Amiga in K1 Reportage (German TV)
Robert Wahnsiedler writes:
Yesterday, about 1:00 AM, I stumbled across a repeat of "K1 - Die Reportage", and
what did my tired eyes see in a report - an Amiga 4000. :) -.
It was about payment on internet by credit card, and how easy it is being cheated.
They showed an interview with Evrim Serim (sp?), a long-standing Amiga user and
co-author of the book Hackerland. It was briefly shown how easy it is for a "pro"
to hack into a simple site, and read out the credit card data. The interview was
made in his room, where he sat in front of an Amiga 4000, which was easily recognized
by keyboard and desktop. :) The screen was not that much visible, but the great Boing
ball sticking to the monitor :). Great advertising for insiders... :).

Heise (producers of the reknown computer magazine c't) writes:
Another veil of secrecy around the company Transmeta was lifted by the
ClieNT Server NEWS in their issue
310, dated August 2nd, 1999. There, it sais that the Californian high-tech
company has won its first OEM customer in Amiga. Officially, both companies
remain quiet, Amiga just hints at the hardware used in a Product / Technology
Brief.
