In mid-November, we introduced Darren 'dmcoles' Cole's "ReBuild" in detail, with which it should be possible to create graphical user interfaces for ReAction, the evolution of ClassAct. Changes of version 0.9.0:
- bitmap object did not generate code for height property correctly
- add enums for ids as well as indexes in generated code
- use enums for ids and indexes in the in generated code object definitions
- enable full code setting in example files
The author asks you to test ReBuild extensively and report any bugs to him.

Babylon 5: Easter Egg in episode 22 of season 2?
Luke Miller is an indie developer at Classyk Games and has not only developed the space game Liberation, but also seems to be interested in the science fiction genre in general: in a Mastodon post under the title link he probably found an Amiga-Easter-Egg in the 22nd episode of the second season of Babylon 5, where you can see an Amiga boing ball in a scene in the background.

Obligement: Update of Amiga Games List
The Amiga Games List, a document created and maintained by David Brunet since April 1991, was updated on January 8, 2024 with the publication of its 54th edition. Among other new features and corrections, games published or updated in 2023 have been added (194), and games created in HyperBook and PowerD are now accounted for.
In addition, two new licences have been added: 'Hack' (which refers to games derived from other games or published illegally, for example without the consent of the original author), and "Sustainable Use License", a new open licence. In addition, where possible, the name of the publisher of public domain games (CAM, Spielekiste, itch.io...) has been added.
The total now stands at 14258 entries, including games, level editors, data disks, extensions and interpreters, distributed as follows:
- 13521 games
- 432 extensions and data disks
- 154 game or level editors
- 151 interpreters
For the record, the number of native AmigaOS 4 games has now passed the 1000 mark. (snx)

Game Construction Kit: Scorpion Engine 2023.5
The "Scorpion Engine" (video of development of vertical scroll demos) by Erik 'earok' Hogan enables the development of games. The engine itself is not open source, but all included demos and demo games are. The editor itself runs on Windows. Graphics are imported as PNG files, for level creation the editor Tiled is used. For sounds, music and animations Amiga formats (mod, 8svx, anim5) are used. Changes of version 2023.5:
- Animation editor has been updated to make it much easier to trigger custom events on frames, including audio, shooting other actors, setting direction and speed - as well as the ability to have numerous melee collision boxes on every frame.
- "Intellibox" allows you to type in a number of code commands directly into the code tab.
- Dynamic Patterns allows levels on Mega Drive to have massive tilesets.
- Ability to freeze and unfreeze actors.
- Many bug fixes and performance enhancements.
- New game: Merry Xmas

AmiFox: Download of itch.io archives
Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow's "AmiFox" displays modern web pages on an Amiga by downloading and displaying the pages converted into images by a web rendering proxy ("AmiFox server"). Besides Aminet, itch.io is one of the central sources for current Amiga software. Following our tip, the developer has now dealt with the problem that it is not possible to download software from there with currently available browsers under AmigaOS 3, and shows in a YouTube video a first possibility to do this via AmiFox.

Tool: identify-library 44.0
Today Richard Körber has released version 44.0 of his identify.library (amiga-news.de reported). Changes:
- Added a few more boards
- Emu68 (PiStorm light) is now detected and properly shown as CPU/FPU/MMU.
- Until now, identify only estimated the MMU depending on the system's CPU, and was wrong with 68EC030 machines and some accelerator boards. 68851 MMU chips were not detected at all. Starting with v44, the mmu.library is used now. If it is present, identify will return an accuate result.

Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow's "AmiFox" displays modern web pages on an Amiga by downloading and displaying the pages converted into images by a web rendering proxy ("AmiFox server"). On the server side, there have now been some minor improvements, which the author describes at the title link - but the program itself does not need to be downloaded again.
Note for users who run the Docker on their own server: The version number 0.3 of the server version has remained the same despite these adjustments. (snx)

Shoot'em Up: "Skillgrid" V1.4
In early 2019, Simone 'saimo' Bevilacqua released his abstract, vertical shoot'em up SkillGrid (YouTube video). Changes to version 1.4:
- Added cells field flashing when these cells (are about to) appear:
- ASTEROIDS cell (bright colors);
- BEAM/* cells, if their exit from the bottom of the screen would reduce the number of beams shot by the spaceship (bright colors);
- MOTHERSHIP, MUSIC MODE, SKULL (same colors of the cells field when the associated boss/mode is active).
- Made the spaceship flash red when its shield is low.
- Made the spaceship glow red for half a second when its shield gets damaged.
- Made the middle layer appear progressively at the beginning of a game.
- Made the cells layer populate with empty cells progressively.
- Changed a few pixels of the title screen spaceship icon and of the Skull.
- Improved the handling of audio channels.
- Made sure no sprite tearing occurs when switching between screens.
- Made sure that the system MMU setup does not interfere.
- Fixed crash when a tune was started while another tune was playing (e.g. when the MUSIC MODE cell was caught while missiles were active).
- Fixed the stopping of the music mode music (it inhibited the restart of the spaceship afterburner sound).
- Fixed the X position of specifically-requested cells (it was equal to the type of the cell removed at the same time).
- Fixed the lengths of some sounds samples (they were odd).
- Made various speed and memory optimizations.
- Made the startup and cleanup code more robust.
- Worked on the cells:
- improved the handling of the TURN cell (now it is randomized and it ensures that the speeds of the UFOs will always change);
- increased the frequency of the MUSIC MODE cells;
- decoupled the randomization of the cells types and positions;
- created the BOSSES (virtual) class of cells, grouping the BOLTSPITTER and SKULL cells (previously MALUSES) and the MOTHERSHIP cell (previously UNDEFINED) into it;
- made the template of the BOLTSPITTER and SKULL cells striped;
- made the template of the TURN cell fringed;
- made the template of the BEAM/DOUBLE cell equal to that of the other BEAM/* cells.
- Worked on the audio channels allocation priorities of the sound effects:
- given the Boltspitter bolt shooting and the hitting of the spaceship by the Mothership beam priority over the milestone notification;
- assigned the speech warnings specific priorities (from lowest to highest: "charge low", "shield low", "approaching asteroids", "escapes critical", "danger", "time running out").
- Updated/improved the documentation.
19. Updated the artwork to reflect the new cells graphics.

Changes in version 1.1.0:
- Supports displaying of Amiga icons
- Icon mode is back in the file lister
- A new command line utility "acp" (works like scp on linux).
Update: (07.01.2024, 18:49, dr)
Meanwhile version 1.1.1 is available which fixes a crash that happens with corrupted .info files and restores the disk usage gauges. (dr)

Platform game: Ami-H.E.R.O.
Paweł 'tukinem' Tukatsch's latest game is an Amiga conversion of the game Helicopter Emergency Rescue Operation (H.E.R.O.) from the US games company Activision from 1984, originally programmed for the Atari 2600. The aim of the game is to fly into the depths of an underground cave with the character, who has a helicopter backpack, in order to rescue lost miners and avoid various dangers. As Paweł explains to us, the music and sounds were created by Marcin 'Eightbm' Białobrzewski, who also created the music for the final version of Tony and for Farmiga. (dr)

Preview video: Hyperborea (Resurrected) #2
Daniel 'Daytona675x' Müßener is in the process of continuing "Hyperborea", a project started four years ago and interrupted in the meantime (YouTube videos) (amiga-news.de reported). Technically, the game is as good as finished. Changes compared to the first preview video:
- spread shot: fully loaded :) Each player can now throw up to 36 laser-streaks on the enemies.
- muzzle flash
- collision handling player vs. bullets and floating enemies
- smart bomb: if you're about to die it will be activated automatically, unless your bomb stock is empty, of course.
While the bomb is active, enemy hitpoints are constantly drained, bullets are canceled and you're invulnerable.
Note: for the video I always keep the 2nd player's bomb stock at 0. This is simply because otherwise it would constantly bomb if hit and make the video much less interesting :P
- removed dummy test explosions on enemy hit: instead a dedicated hit sound is played. Maybe I'll add some sparks later.
- optional bullet canceling on enemy hit: when the enemy is destroyed then all of the bullets that were spawned by it are canceled.
- extremely optimized player-gun vs. enemies algorithm
- optional craters for ground enemies and test turrets: those craters got their own dedicated rendering system.
- some well-known floating popcorn enemies ;)
Many enemies are taken from Torben's earlier work "Battle Squadron" for the time being. There are also a few placeholders (e.g. for the music or crater gfx). (dr)

Amiga-Emulator: vAmigaWeb - reworked virtual keyboard
vAmigaWeb is an Amiga emulator for the web browser or a Progressive Web App (PWA) based on the Amiga emulator vAmiga for MacOS.
In this update, the virtual keyboard has been restyled and technically reworked. It is now css-grid-based, which enables automatic scaling to different screen sizes. In addition to a scaling factor, the user can now also add a border at the bottom of the screen. This is particularly useful to prevent the keyboard from conflicting with the home indicator (the thin bar at the bottom of the iPhone screen).
All analogue sticks on a external controller should be recognized and work properly now. Tested with wireless Xbox controller on iPad. (dr)
