Text-based strategy game: HAMmurabi V1.01
Hamurabi is a text-based strategy game in which you "take on the role of the Sumerian king for ten years, deciding how much land to buy, how much wheat to feed your subjects and how much wheat to sow." A previous version was published in 1968 for the newly invented programming language FOCAL, before it was ported to BASIC in 1973 and thus became known to a wider public (Wikipedia).
Phil Spilsbury has published the original source code on GitHub, as it was printed in the book "BASIC Computer Games" in 1978. If you want to get a first impression, you can test the version ported to HTML5 by Chris Ainsley in 2019 in your browser.
At the beginning of 2020, 'Dr Guru' published a version adapted to Amiga Kick Pascal in the Amiga-Dresden forum (German), the source code of which is still accessible.
Now 'lifeschool' has also taken on the game as a contribution to AmiGameJam 2024 and, in addition to the original version from 1978 (with or without language), has published a conversion he created with HAM background images and a few additional questions to answer. The game runs on any OCS/ECS Amiga with KS 3.0+, 0.5 MB chip and 1 MB Fast-Ram. (dr)

US trademarks: New dates for "AmigaOne" trademark dispute
The dispute over the trademark "AmigaOne" at the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO, amiga-news.de reported) had initially been suspended (PDF file), because any court decision in the main proceedings would make it easier to reach a final decision on certain trademark applications and the corresponding oppositions.
However, both sides, Amiga Corporation and Hyperion Entertainment, were required to provide regular updates to the USPTO on the status of that litigation - most recently, they were given 30 days to do so on March 28 of this year. However, as neither party felt compelled to do so, the trademark dispute was resumed by the USPTO on August 12 and the further course of action was set: the scheduled dates range from September 11, 2024 to January 14, 2026 (PDF file).

Programming environment: MicroPython for the Amiga in development
MicroPython Amiga is a fork of the MicroPython project that brings this programming environment to the classic Amiga (with at least AmigaOS 3.1). The project is still under development, but can already be compiled and used.
Amiga-specific features:
-
This version should be considered as preliminary. Most of the tests are passing, but some are still failing.
- Networking (tcp) is available but not SSL. Thus, bsdsocket.library is required.
- Passing tests (some have been sightly modified for the Amiga) can be found in the tests directory: basics, cmdline, cpydiff, extmod, feature_check, float, frozen, import, internal_bench, io, micropython, misc, net_hosted, net_inet (without SSL), perf_bench, stress and unicode.
- Neither viper nor native modes are supported (most of the viper tests are passing but some are crashing!).
