Crowd funding: The story of the Commodore Amiga in pixels
Nostalgia-related projects continue being very much the trend on crowd funding platforms: After The story of the Commodore 64 in pixels, the author Chris Wilkins is going to acknowledge the Amiga. The book will be published as paperback and hardcover book. Donatorrs can choose between different bonuses - among others an Amiga port of Starquake, which currently is developed by the well-known cracker Galahad and which is supposed to be delivered in a professional box with pin, poster and printed pocket guide.

AROS: May 2016 Highlights
So far we reported about "A week in AROS" in which Krzysztof 'deadwood' Śmiechowicz collected information about changes of the operating system AROS. Recently only few changes could be reported therefore we will change to the monthly summaries of the same author:
"As the days finally got warmer on northern hemisphere, the activity of both users and developers of AROS reached quite low levels in May.
Krzysztof Smiechowicz made the necessary fixes to the source code and enabled again the x86_64 build of AROS, which was not available for over three months. Right now nightly build targets for all supported architectures are available.
In May first version of a new, interesting application has been made available by Marcus Sacrow. Mapparium is an OpenStreetMap client working under AROS and MorphOS. Current functionality allows for example browsing the map and searching for location.
Closing, a new survey has been launched in order to understand how AROS is used by people and how it can become even more useful. If you have not done so, please answer the survey questions in this thread."

Arcade/Memory-Mix: Blocky Skies
In "Blocky Skies" you have to move your game character from the left to right side of the the screen - along a predefined route. This does not sound difficult? You can see the route only for a short while.
Blocky Skies requires a PAL-Amiga with 512 KB RAM. You can download a bootable ADF-image (packed in a LhA-archive) or the hard drive install. The game was written in assembler, the source codes as well as the C source code of all developer tools used for Blocky Skies are available on Github.

Emulator: WinUAE 3.3.0
Toni Wilen has released version 3.3.0 of the Amiga emulator WinUAE which mainly provides AmigaOS-4 adaptions. The developer thanks all donators who supported that. He also pointed out that "performance is not (and can't be) as fast as with m68k AmigaOS, especially with directory harddrives, due to slower, much more complex UAE to/from native code context switch trap system."
New features:
- New optional "indirect" UAE expansion trap system, fully compatible
with OS4.x, virtual memory and some debugging programs
- PC Bridgeboard disk drive raw image support. (ipf, ext adf, ...)
- Monochrome video out emulation, including A1000 color/mono video
out software control (BPLCON0 COLOR bit)
- Dark palette fix option to correct colors of badly ported Atari ST
games (Midnight Resistance etc.)
- Official CSPPC/BPPC flash updater can be used to install full ROM
image without having existing ROM image
- Custom input events can execute Amiga-side commands and scripts
- Windows clipboard to emulated Amiga keyboard paste support
- Variable refresh rate optimized vsync mode (G-Sync/FreeSync)
- Black frame injection is supported in variable refresh modes
- IVS Trumpcard Pro/GrandSlam SCSI emulation
OS4.x supported UAE expansions:
- Directory harddrives, including on the fly insertion/removal
- CDFS CD mounting
- Clipboard sharing
- uaegfx RTG
- uaehf.device hardfiles
- Virtual mouse driver/magic mouse/tablet mode
- uaenet.device
- uaeserial.device
- uaescsi.device
- uae.resource
- uaenative.library
Updates:
- Game Ports panel input customization is finally very intuitive
- On the fly input device insertion/removal improvements
- Many input device handling updates and fixes
- Faster screenshot/capture in after filtering mode
- Continuous screenshot mode
- CD³² Akiko chip low level emulation compatibility improved
- Nero .nrg CD image support
Bug fixes:
- Hardware RTG emulation rendered same frame twice in some situations causing slow performance
- Amithlon partition type (0x78/0x30) support works again
- Some storage devices failed to mount as a harddrive
- AGA subpixel scrolling glitches
- Miscellaneous custom chipset emulation fixes
- AGA mode HAM6 colors were not 100% accurate
- Some programmed custom chipset display modes crashed
- Direct3D mode DirectX9 not installed warning corrupted memory
- Fullscreen + paused + enter GUI: GUI was invisible
- Display panel gamma value calculation fixed
- CDFS automount didn't mount CDs with empty label

Amiga at the Royal Navy: WxWatch
Many fans of the Amiga know that the computer was used by the NASA. But the software provider Anticyclone now claimed that it was also used on ships of the British Royal Navy: On its website the company introduces "WxWatch", which is a "APT Weather Satellite image processing system which gave excellent results even under demanding conditions."
The Amiga is not mentioned by name, but the screenshots as well as parts of the text ("32 bit pre-emptive multitasking operating system", "ARexx scripting language") provide clear indications.

Due to this damage she can only shoot when jumping or stay in position.. In order to repair her suite and to get informations about who is behind all this she has to collect their logic units called "eBRAIN". Every dead opponent will drop one. The handicap will cause on ore two stressing situations and maybe you destroy an oponent above a hole.. If so you may need to digg further into the level and check where it has landed : )
Graphics:
The game reessambles the 8Bit style of MegaMan (NES/Famicom) but it features also some modern elements like parallax scrolling in chasing-levels.
Sound:
The Soundtrack comes from BMR (Blue Metal Rose). They have created MOD's from their Songs as like "Listening", "Run" and "Work in Progress" , incl. Vocals.

Unfinished R-Type clone: Thesius XII
In Autumn 2003 the team of Underware Design released the R-Type clone "Thesius XII" which they did not finish. According to the authors "this version is basically a 3 level edition of the game, minus the final two levels (which are no where near complete) and lots of polish" and for some time is available on their website.

Tutorial: Raspberry Pi as PPP-server for the Amiga (Update 2)
An blog entry explains how you can use a Raspberry Pi with a cheap TTL-to-RS232-converter as a PPP server for an Amiga. The Amiga is connected to the single board computer using a regular RS 232 serial cable und is using a TCP stack - the tourial is using Miami as an example - to connect to the network.
Update: (25.05.2016, 15:20, cg)
The blog is hosted on the author's Raspbery Pi, which apparently can't handle the current amount of visitors very well. The website keeps disappearing for short periods of time.
Update: (26.05.2016, 22:15, cg)
A different Blog describes pretty much the same setup, apart from using the free AmiTCP 4.0 available from Aminet as a TCP stack on the Amiga.
