`13.Nov.2001` Markus Pohlmann (ANF)	First routines of Project Crashsite on the Amiga 2001 Here are two news on the Project Crashsite status: On the Amiga 2001 there will be the first routines of Project Crashsite to look at. There will be the rudimentary playable combat and the space flight will invite to fly along the planets of Future II. I hope for many visitors and would be happy about numerous suggestions and comments. The poll on www.projektcrash.de (title link) turned out that five of six votees prefer a PPC version. As a first answer to this I would like to announce the following: The interlude animations in the game will be MPEG animations. Mathias Roslund gave permission to use AMP for playing the animations in Project Crashsite, which makes an effective animation player for PPC and CGFX available for the game! Greetings, Markus Pohlmann (ps) (Translation: mj) [News message: 13. Nov. 2001, 22:33] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`13.Nov.2001` Olaf Köbnik (E-Mail)	Amiga Arena: PuzzleBOBs In cooperation with Emanuele Cesaroni, Nexus Development, the Amiga Arena and Fun Tim World present the game PuzzleBOBS, which is about a "Bust'n Move" clone to be available on the "AMIGA 2001" show. From now on the demo version is available on http://www.funtime-world.de/puzzle.html, and on the support page of the Amiga Arena. About PuzzleBOBS The game was developed by the Italian software company Nexus Development which was founded by Emanuele Cesaroni. Worldwide distribution will be done by Fun Time World in cooperation with the Amiga Arena. Previews of "PuzzleBOBS" can be found in the current issue of the "Amiga Future" #33 (German Amiga Game print magazine), and in "No Cover" issue #88 (German Amiga disk magazine). Technical background and more: PuzzleBOBS is completely configuralbe: Screen mode (AGA / OCS / ECS / Picasso96 or CyberGraphX comaptible graphic boards). Bitplanes (up to 16 and 24bit screens). Playable in three languages (German, Itatlian, English). Playable from HD, full or partial installation (min. 14 MB). Written in 100% assembler. Level and sound import. Backgrounds, bubbles, object speed, music and sound effects, explosion style, and masses of other little things, as well, can be configured to match your own personal desire. The game was programmed to allow different bubbles to have different characteristics. There are bubbles that bounce back form walls, which of course simplifies severity. The game runs in full multitasking on it's own screen or in a window on the Workbench. When the game's window becomes inactive the game automatically turns to sleep mode, which is a special feature to let you continue your work on the Workbench. In sleep mode even every audio channel and colour palette get's released - pure culture multitasking. Further and detailed informaiton can be found in the demo version's guide.

`12.Nov.2001` Markus Bonet (ANF)	MUI under Windows XP? Markus Bonet wrote: To find out about why Windows XP should be so great I looked around a little on the Microsoft website. I really was not aware, that MUI was released for Windows, too ;-)) "Multi-Lingual User Interface - MUI - allows to change the interface's language to display menus, help files, dictionaries, spell checking tools, ect. in the desired language." But this sure would mean something different, somehow. ;-) (ps) (Translation: mj) [News message: 12. Nov. 2001, 19:24] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`12.Nov.2001` Thomas Zahren (ANF)	Nostalgica: Amiga Graphics artist + programmer Jim Sachs While looking around the news pages of CHIP.DE I found a link to the aquarium screensaver in the news on the new Windows XP and it's "self-made plus package". This screensaver was programmed by Jim Sachs. Until then I had no idea of this name, but as I then looked at "About the Author" (title link) on the serenescreen.com website, some known pictures of the author from Amiga days turned up. A link on this page shows many pictures of his work history, too. With another link on the same site the Amiga is mentioned again in an interview. To smile: To the surprised interviewer's questions, how it comes that the download of this emotive Windows screensaver is just about 600k in size: RADEONIC: Probably one of the things that surprised me most was the size of the download. Did you spend a lot of time optimising the code, and did you have any special tricks for compressing textures? JS: No, I haven't really started to optimize the code yet. Coming from the Amiga, where everything had to fit on a 770k floppy, I am utterly amazed at how huge PC apps have become. What could these programmers possibly be filling up all those megabytes with? The whole ascii source code for the program? The phone book for their area code? It was a pleasure to me to accidently stumble upon this programmer and those Internet sites and thereby to learn, that he still likes the Amiga, allthough he changed the system.
