Turn-based strategy game: Demo version of "Ecliptic" Ecliptic is described by the author as a mixture of turn-based tactical combat and role-playing. Visually, it is reminiscent of the retro-futuristic science fiction of the 1970s and 1980s. The player's task is to regain control of a spaceship drifting in space and occupied by aliens. A first demo has now been released. The game is currently under development and has no sound at the moment. It requires 1MB RAM, recommended is an Amiga 1200 with HD and Fast RAM.

10.Mar.2024 Dietmar Planitzer (Mail) |
Operating system for Amiga 3000/4000: First alpha version of "Serena OS" At the end of 2022, we reported on the start of Dietmar Planitzer's project to write "Apollo", an experimental operating system for the Amiga 3000/4000. After another status update at the end of last year, the developer has now renamed his project "Serena OS" and released a first alpha version, about which he kindly wrote us the following: "Let's start with the most obvious change: Apollo is now called Serena OS. A few other things have changed over the last few months. Serena now has an API which makes it possible to write (simple) programmes. Dispatch queues, files, directories, pipes as well as clock and timer functions are currently supported. In addition, there is an advanced C standard library (libc) and the beginnings of a C maths library (libm). There is now also a simple shell and a RAM-based file system. The VT52 and VT100 terminal emulation is now also largely complete and the VT52 emulation now also supports the Atari ST extensions. Both VT100 and VT52 emulation now also support multiple colours (in VT52 emulation mode the corresponding Atari ST ESC codes must be used). At the moment, however, the system still has a very significant limitation: neither floppy disc nor hard disc is currently supported. However, achieving this is the plan for the next stage of the project. It will then be possible to create a programme for Serena on a Windows or Linux computer and then run it on the Amiga under Serena. I suspect that some of you are wondering what these ominous dispatch queues are? Dispatch queues are used to run programme parts in parallel. The original Amiga OS provided tasks for this purpose and other operating systems provide threads. Apple's macOS implements dispatch queues on the basis of traditional threads. The problem with threads and tasks is that programs allocate them, then use them intermittently, then spend most of their time just sitting passively on the thing without actually using it (threads spend a lot of time sleeping). However, a thread always uses memory and kernel resources - whether it's sleeping or actually doing work makes no difference. Serena is instead built entirely around dispatch queues: Processes manage dispatch queues and dispatch queues do their work with the help of "virtual processors". You can think of a virtual processor as a highly dynamic thread that is not tied to a specific process. Virtual processors are moved back and forth between dispatch queues and processes as required. If a dispatch queue needs to do more work, it gets an additional virtual processor. However, if it does less work, it gives up a virtual processor, which can then be used by another queue in another process." (dr) [News message: 10.

Amiga Kit: ARM Graphics library for A600GS computer Press release: AmigaKit Ltd is pleased to announce an important software development for the forthcoming A600GS computer system (amiga-news.de reported). The new ARM Graphics Library is pre-installed accelerating the performance of AmiBench and 68K applications. The ARMgraphics.library was created by AmigaKit's in- house developer to bypass the bottleneck of the 68K graphics functions. It accelerates graphics rendering performance in applications. AmiBench is pre-installed on the A600GS computer system. It opens the desktop environment in high resolution 1080p with True Colour icons. Now it can use the new ARM Graphics Library for various purposes including faster rendering of windows, icons and backgrounds. Third party developers can take advantage of this library by using it's powerful functions from their 68K application. It also offers an opportunity for 68K games developers to enhance their games with faster graphics rendering. The library provides a link between 68K programs and the native ARM processor. Further work is underway to patch 68K system graphics functions so older applications that are not written to use the ARM Graphics Library can benefit. AmigaKit has developed AK-Datatypes, Picture Datatype and Datatypes Library over the many years for the Enhancer Software on X5000, X1000 and A1222+. These have been compiled for 68K to run on the A600GS, In addition these system components can also be accelerated by the ARM Graphics Library for extra performance. The A600GS computer system is due for launch in the second quarter of 2024. (dr) [News message: 09. Mar. 2024, 15:09] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |
