Programming assistance: "AB_Template" offers templates for AmiBlitz 3 Sami Vehmaa wants to get more people to develop games for the Amiga platform and for this purpose offers templates for the RTG variant of AmiBlitz 3 on itch.io with "AB_Template" (YouTube video of version 0.23). The idea behind it is not to teach AmiBlitz, but to give everyone who dares to start a project a quick start: where you can try out ideas, like different resolutions or how high the graphics load is, so you know if the game idea is feasible. To avoid having to start with a completely empty project, it offers various ready-made settings, menus or resolutions. Likewise example games are attached (Dino, Playground), with which one can test different resolutions etc.. With the current version 0.29 it introduces small game ideas or concepts, so that the programmer can see what is possible. If the idea is liked, it can be developed further. Here concretely the concept of a slot machine, in next versions then among other things the beginning of a pinball game. The source code of the games and everything else can be used to write your own games. Excluded are the graphics. Required are AmigaOS3.x, AHI, RTG 16-bit, 68020+, 10MB RAM and AmiBlitz3. Currently "AB_Template" costs about two Euro. (dr) [News message: 28. Aug. 2022, 07:14] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

Amiga Assembly For Beginners: Last episode of Let's Make an Amiga Game Tutorial 'Prince', founder of the group 'Phaze101', streams the assembler coding course "Corso completo di programmazione assembler in due dischi" in English on Twitch and uploads the respective episodes time-delayed to YouTube (amiga-news.de reports regularly). In another tutorial Amiga Assembly For Beginners - Lets Make a Game, Prince has explained with concrete examples how to write a game with assembler. The last Episode 16 is now available. The resulting game "Mr Poo's Journey" is available on itch.io for a self-determined price. The game runs on a standard Amiga 500. (dr) [News message: 27.

Book: Volume 3 of "From Vultures to Vampires" announced (update) In a video message the former Commodore UK manager David Pleasance announced that the book "From Vultures to Vampires" (amiga-news.de reported), which was originally divided into two volumes, will be extended by a third volume. As he explained, they "kept researching and researching and researching" and had gathered much more material than they ever imagined. Approximately 550 pages of information would have been collected for the years from 2005 to the present. Since they assumed that readers would not want to read only half the story, it would be best to publish a third volume, even if it meant additional costs for everyone. Volume 2 would now be printed with around 300 pages. As David goes on to explain, he "felt guilty" and didn't like the idea of having to split the project into two volumes, since that would mean additional costs for the buyers. To thank buyers for their support, this second volume was offered for half the price of the first volume, 17.50 British Pounds (GBP). However, due to the price increase, he said he could not do this for the third volume, but could at least still offer a lower price than volume 1: 26 GBP (about 31 Euro). With packaging and postage, the total cost is as follows:
Update: (28.08.2022, 06:48, dr) David has asked to use different addresses for payment and contact. Article changed accordingly. (dr) [News message: 27. Aug. 2022, 08:32] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

OpenGLES ports: Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy are the third and fourth part of a series of first and third person shooters set in the Star Wars universe. The source code of both games was released years ago, shortly after that ports for AmigaOS 4 were released, which were still based on MiniGL at that time. Roman 'kas1e' Kargin has now ported these MiniGL versions to GL4ES, which according to him provides a noticeably smoother gameplay - on his system consistently at least 30 FPS or more, while the MiniGL versions at high detail levels quite possibly only managed 12-13 FPS. In addition, according to Kargin, various display errors and crashes are now a thing of the past. In a video the developer demonstrates the new versions of both games extensively, in an article on amigaworld.net he gives further explanations about his updates and tips for the performance increase of the 3D subsystem in AmigaOS 4. Both games require the recently released Enhancer 2.2. The engines ported by Kargin can be downloaded for free from the OS4Depot (Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy), additionally a copy of the original commercial release of the respective title is still required.

Database: MUIBase is now BeeBase, version 1.0 available Steffen Gutmann has been maintaining a programmable relational database called MUIBase since 1998, most recently version 4.5 had been released in mid-July. Since the open source program is now available for various other platforms (Windows, Mac OS, Linux) in addition to Amiga systems, the name 'MUIBase' was no longer optimal, however. The author seems to see it that way, too: Yesterday BeeBase 1.0 was released. The first release of BeeBase is practically identical with MUIBase 4.5, new are an Italian translation, furthermore a bug in the installation process under AmigaOS 4 has been fixed. The pictograms in the current archive seem to be corrupted, the author has already been informed. (cg) [News message: 26.
