AmiTube: Preview video of 'Fancy List'
In today's blog entry, author Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow gives a small preview of a feature of the upcoming version: the 'Fancy List'. The video shows the new list feature in action, where title, description and thumbnail are displayed directly in the list. After switching to this variant, the images are loaded automatically, making it suitable only for faster Amigas/RTG or NG Amigas. (dr)

Accelerator board project: 'Buffee' supports Big Endian
In her latest blog entry Renee Cousins, one of the two developers of the accelerator board 'Buffee' (amiga-news.de reported) takes up the topic of Endianness and refutes the thesis that the AM335x processor installed on the Buffee did not support Big Endian.

As Renee wrote, "big endian is working. It works for DRAM. It works with the GPMC. The only exception is that the registers need byte swapping if you’re reading/writing in 16- or 32-bit because those remain in little-endian mode. And of course, there’s the matter of making a GCC big-endian C standard library and IO programming, but knowing that this actually works means proceeding."

For testers with an Alpha or Beta board, this means that there will be a 'Buffee Swapper' that will swap the external data bus bytes. This board will be a small shim that sits between Buffee and the motherboard, allowing Buffee to run in proper big-endian mode. The swapper will be shipped free of charge to any alpha and beta tester. Future Buffee boards will not need this shim. (dr)

Puzzle game: Demo version of 'Spheroid' released
About a month ago we were already allowed to test the puzzle game 'Spheroid' written by Andrew Vaisey in Blitz Basic, where you move a metal ball through a maze of tiles to reach the exit within the given time and the maximum allowed number of moves. Different tiles have different properties and affect the ball in different ways (amiga-news.de reported).

After a demo version was already available to the readers of Amiga Addict magazine for a few days, the developer has now released a ten-level demo version for everyone.

Download: SpheroidDemo.zip (342 kB) (dr)

MorphOS: Screenbar-Plugin TopTasks 1.6
TopTasks.sbar is a Screenbar-Plugin for MorphOS that shows the task that is currently eating the most CPU time in the screen title.
When the titlebar object is clicked it opens a window displaying the top tasks (from 5 to 25) currently hogging all your precious CPU time. Furthermore it can display a history of the top tasks of the last configureable number of seconds/minutes/hours. Changes:
  • The top tasks window opens now exactly below the screen title bar instead of using its own bottom border for position.
  • Text displayed in the screen title can now be rendered off-center vertically by specifiying a pixel offset.
  • Number of Top Tasks shown can be configured from 5, 10, 15, 20 to 25 tasks now. Previously it was fixed to 10 tasks.
  • Now displays the rank of the tasks in the first column.
  • Top Tasks and History Tasks CPU loads can now also be colour coded ranging from green over yellow to red (see settings).
  • Comes with a real Installer script courtesy of InstallerGen by Rob Cranley now.
  • Now also shows the respective task priorities in history list.
  • Global task info group in the TopTask window can now be hidden (see settings).
  • The TopTask window can now be made dragable (see settings).
  • Width calculation has been updated to be a bit closer to the configured number of characters in settings.
  • Number of entries held in History list can now be adjusted from 60 seconds up to 24 hours where 1 entry equals 1 second.
  • Once an entry was selected in history list it was not possible to deselect it making the list always keep the entry in the visible area scrolling the added top entries out. To deselect the entry now double click any entry in the list.

Arcade game 'Jump!': Demo version 1.10 available
At the end of last year we had the opportunity to (test) the alpha version of 'Jump!', a conversion of the game Yoomph, originally written for the Atari. The Polish developer Markus Duda now has released a second demo version (amiga-news.de reported) which has lower chip memory usage and provides some minor bugs fixes.

An Amiga 1200 with 14MHz and 4MB FastRAM is required. The demo version offers three playable levels.
The game can be pre-ordered at the title link as a digital variant for 29 Euros or as a 'boxed version' for 45 Euros plus shipping (depending on the destination).

Download: jump_demo.zip (2,6 MB) (dr)
