Raspberry Pi and Amiga: A314 also for A600, support of USB mice
Niklas Ekström has created a FPGA-based adapter board called "A314" which is used to connect a Raspberry Pi to the internal expansion port of an Amiga 500. He is also working on version for the Amiga 600 but the production of the prototypes delayed again. At the latest in two weeks working prototypes are supposed to be available.

Another possible application of the A314 was added to ones which have been known so far: Using a remote mouse (video) the Amiga mouse pointer is controlled by an USB mouse connected to the Raspberry Pi. Further ideas are presented on the blog crowstudio.se. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Game Construction Kit: Two games created with "RedPill"
On Sunday we reported about the latest version 0.7.12 of the Game Construction Kit "RedPill". We would like to introduce two current games which have been created with the help of this development environment:

HappyBat is a port of the game Flappy Bird. You have to control a bird - in this case a bat-like creature - through obstacles and prevent it from falling down by tapping the space key or the fire button:


Author Carlos Zener has released this game for testing the new highscore feature of RedPill. On request of amiga-news.de he explained that due to a positive feedback he is going to develop a complete game, including "title screen, more levels and music." He already has found a fellow for composing the music, but explained: "Certainly I will need help for the title screen cover, I would appreciate any help with that." Contact details you can get from the readme of the game. The first impressions of the game are very promising. We will follow this up.

The Sokoban clone RedpillPuzzleHD has been also released and is available as ADF version as well. Blocks of different colours have to be moved to get them to the exit. Bumped blocks are moving as long as they hit a wall. Additionally a red block has to be got out of the way:


This game offers appealing, classic Amiga music during the levels and some challenges for your brain. In future versions the author could pay some more attention to the background. (dr) (Translation: dr)

Jump'n Run: C64 port "Fred's Journey"
In the mid-1990s the protagonist "Fred" had many adventures on the C64, e.g. in the Fred's Back series. In cooperation with the former author and the graphic artist Hans Sommer, Retroguru has ported the first two parts of the series to the Amiga, called "Fred's Journey".


Fred's Journey requires an Amiga equipped with at least 1 MB RAM. Currently some problems might occur depending on respective memory and Kickstart configuration of the computer. The developers have already released two updates to fix that. The game can be downloaded for free but a boxed version "most likely" will be there in the next few weeks. (cg) (Translation: dr)

Game Construction Kit: RedPill 0.7.12
RedPill is a Game Construction Kit written in AmiBlitz2, which can help developing games of diverse genres - published videos show versions of Pacman and Mirror. RedPill is compatible to AGA and ECS, the "player" requires 1 MB Chip as well as some Fast RAM.

Changes:
  • New Triggers Show Scores and Enter Hiscore add Hi-Score functionality to Redpill.
  • In case of CD32, Enter Hiscore tries to save the scores in the local drive, if not uses CD32 non-volatile memory. I hope someone can test it :)
  • New project ex_hiscores shows how to use these new triggers.
  • Fixed issue when exporting games that use image background and sprite background at the same time.
  • Updated Lha compression and now time is right for unpacked files (Until 2038).
