Blog: The Colorful Charm of Amiga Utility Disks
In his latest, richly illustrated blog entry, Carl Svensson looks at Amiga utility disks and their often creative CLI menus: Utility disks were especially popular in the demo scene, and included editors, crunchers, graphics tools, trackers for composing music, or tools for displaying or playing text, graphics and music files. To create a demo, you only needed a handful of these disks.

Article on Amiga use in film productions by Digital Domain
Befores & Afters is a (primarily online) magazine on visual effects and animation. At the title link, it dedicates a current article to the use of the Amiga in the film industry - to be more precise, it is simply a reproduction of memories of Digital Domain graphic artist Sean Cunningham, which he published as a comment on the YouTube channel of Retro Recipes after an Amiga 4000 apparently used for the films "Apollo 13" and "Titanic" turned up three years ago.

AmigaOS 4: Status of Qt 6.2.0
In October 2021, developer Alfkil Wennermark had published a first preview of a text editor created with Qt6 (amiga-news.de reported).
Now he shows in a current YouTube video how he edits text in this editor and then exports it to a pdf file. The special thing about it:
Until now, there was only a static link version of Qt6, which means that all library objects are collected in the executable file at build time. In the dynamic link now, they use shared objects that are all loaded and linked at runtime. Since most complex programs from other platforms need dynamic links (shared objects) for their build systems to work, this is another development step regarding the creation of such programs for AmigaOS 4.

From 8pm tonight until Sunday, the Lovebyte Demoparty 2023 will take place on Discord and Twitch, where there will again be intro competitions in various categories. However, until just before the closing date, not a single Amiga demo has been submitted for this, which is why the organisers explicitly encourage programmers to submit for example at least a small 1k bootblock intro.

Programming contest: 12th Edition of BASIC 10Liner Contest
Homeputerium is the name of the home computer laboratory of the Eider-Treene school in Friedrichstadt. Using donated computers like Commodore 64, Atari-400, Schneider CPC-464 or Amiga 500 there pupils can make themselves familiar with them and create some sound or colorful lines by writing little BASIC programs.
The organizers wrote: "The BASIC 10Liner Contest started 2011 as a party fun at the NOMAM meeting in Northern Germany. NOMAM means 'Not only marvelous Atari machinery' and is an annual meeting from classic computer enthusiasts. The visitors of the meeting decided to hold a little contest: Write a program in 10 lines of BASIC on Atari Computers! We had loads of fun with programming the whole weekend. 2013 we decided to repeat the contest. This time only games were allowed. In 2014 we opened the 10Liner contest also for programmers who did not visit to the meeting. Owners of other 8 bit computer requested to open the contest for their machines. We met the wish and opened it for all 8 bit computers."
This year marks the twelfth edition of the competition. And even if Amiga computers belong to the 16-bit systems and thus do not fulfil the competition conditions, corresponding entries are included in the category "Wild". This year 'Toolkitman' has already submitted two Amiga projects. These and all other submitted programmes can be found in the overview at bunsen.itch.io.
The deadline for entries is Saturday, 25 March 2023, 18.00 CET. The award ceremony will take place at NOMAM on Saturday, 1 April 2023.

In a recent developer log entry, Domenico 'Diduz' Misciagna, author of the text adventure "The Daring Rescue of Pacuvia the Sheep" (amiga-news.de reported), explains which problems and peculiarities he encountered when creating the Amiga version in AMOS Pro 2.0: for example, the handling of nested conditions (IF / THEN / ELSE / ENDIF) in general QuickBasic code on the one hand and AMOS on the other hand differed. And even though he didn't need any of the features of AMOS Pro 2.0, he was forced to upgrade from his preferred version 1.3 because the sample bank editor it contained didn't play his sound files without problems.

Music album: "Amiga Collection" by Stamen
'ST Arts' is an amateur musician from Finland who likes to compose melodic electronic music, mainly synthpop and space synth music with influences from the mod/demo scene. Thereby 'ST Arts' stands as a generic term for all his musical work, regardless of genres (interview from 2008). When he bought an Amiga 500 in 1992 and started making music with ProTracker, he gave himself the artist name 'Stamen' and published tracks on Aminet and The Mod Archive.
Now he has released the album "Amiga Collection" on the online music service "Bandcamp", which contains tracks from 1994 to 1999 and can be downloaded for a price to be determined by the user.

Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.8
Keir Fraser's "Greaseweazle" does - similar to Kryoflux - read the magnetic information on a floppy disk independently from the format used and saves as much information as possible to generate a so-called "Flux Level Image" in Supercard format (SCP), which enables reading and back-writing of copy-protected disks (amiga-news.de reported)

Tech demo of an arcade game: RemGame
'RemGame' (video) is the author's first C/ASM project on the Amiga. He describes it as a "tech demo", and he has yet to come up with a game design to go with it. RemGame uses a sprite multiplexer and can thus display up to 104 moving sprites. The colours of the sprites are changed via copper list in each grid line. Together with the scrolling background displayed in HAM mode, up to 1400 colours are displayed on the screen simultaneously, even on an A500. In a forum discussion, the author answers users' questions and offers the current version for download.

The Amiga as a musical instrument: Paulimba
Linus 'lft' Åkesson has been an active part of the demoscene for a good 25 years, composing music for numerous demos and music discs for Amiga and C64 as 'Lairfight' or 'lft'. Last year he built "The Commodordion": an 8-bit accordion consisting mainly of two C64 keyboards, floppy disks and gaffer tape. As he says himself, he has started programming for the Amiga again after more than 20 years and has now written "Paulimba", a program to play live music on the keyboard of an Amiga (600).

Overview: Comparison of Operating Systems
Eylenburg's Tech Website is a truly amazing project in which a lot of hard work has gone into it: in several overviews and histories 'Eylenburg' offers, for example, Operating Systems: Timeline and Family Tree, Default Desktop Environments for Linux and Unix or Comparison of Instant Messengers - always presented with large-format tables and graphics. Of particular interest to Amiga users is the Comparison of Operating Systems, where AmigaOS and MorphOS have been listed for some time and now AROS has been added. But it is also worth taking a look at the above-mentioned Family Tree or History of Web Browser Engines from 1990 until today, in which IBrowse is also listed.

AROS: GUI for configuring SMB2/3-Shares
As Paolo Besser, author of the AROS distribution Icaros Desktop writes in his latest blog entry, he has programmed a simple graphical tool for configuring shares in LUA for the new SMB2 handler in order to add new shares to the AROS environment. It is not intended to be a full-fledged manager, but it already performs the rather simple task of adding new device definition files to Devs:DOSDrivers. Unless a more comprehensive configuration tool is written by someone else, he will include it in the next Icaros versions.

A 1.8-inch ZIF design is now followed by a 2.5-inch IDE SSD compatible with any device that normally uses a 2.5-inch IDE hard drive or a 3.5-inch IDE hard drive with a simple adapter (YouTube video). So it should also be possible to use it in the Amiga 1200 or Amiga 4000.

ACube Systems: First batch of Sam460LE boards shipped - second delayed
Press release - January 29, 2023
Dear customers,
We have sent out as many boards as we could prepare.
Unfortunately, we received from our suppliers some faulty Ethernet controllers and therefore some boards failed the stress tests.
This will create a delay in the delivery of the remaining Sam460LE. :-(
The replacement Ethernet controllers will arrive in mid-February, after Chinese New Year.
Again, we will perform our extensive testing because we would rather not release a poor product.
We apologize for yet another delay caused by companies that do not play fair.

David Pleasance, author of the book "Commodore - The Inside Story" addresses via Twitter the subscribers of the German edition of his work, especially those of the printed edition.

Jump'n Run: new demo version V1.4 of "Creeping Me Out Hex Night"
Michael 'Mixel' Dawes provides another demo version of his jump'n run 'Creeping Me Out: Hex Night', created with the game construction kit Scorpion Engine. According to the developer, this new playable demo version provides "a few little changes here and there". The biggest change: Game performance is much better now, and it also works on A1200s with no fast RAM (which he doesn't recommend, it is just a preparation for future CD32 version). Basically the game requires 2 MB Chip and 1 MB Fast RAM as well as a 68020-processor.
As the developer explained to us, the game is about 70% finished, and he will continue to expand and improve the game after its release. You can support the developer via his Patreon website.
