The fourth preview video now shows improvements such as health bars and additional collision detection. You can now also collect power-ups (but they still don't do anything yet) and enemies and bullets can now cause damage.

Rennspiel: Carmageddon update
A reverse engineering project brings the PC classic Carmageddon to the Classic Amiga: the conversion of Artur 'Arcziii' Jarosik (video) is based on the original engine, was adapted for the 68k architecture and requires the original game data of Carmageddon (amiga-news.de reported).
He has now added a non-SDL, CGX, AGA and OCS/ECS HAM6 executable as well as the "joy2Key2" tool from Lorence Lombardo (with a gui created by him), which allows joypad and gamepad keys to be assigned as keyboard keys.

Tool: Audio decompression with QoaToAiff 0.1
The relatively new "Quite OK Audio Format" (QOA) is a lossy audio compression format: audio signals (44100hz, stereo) are encoded at 278 kbits/s, or more precisely at 3.2 bits per sample - exactly 1/5 of the bits required for an uncompressed WAV file. It is therefore less complex than the well-known OGG Vorbis and MP3 formats, but still significantly smaller than lossless file formats (see also a corresponding German (siehe auch einen entsprechenden heise.de article).
According to Grzegorz Kraszewski, this could also be a good alternative for the Amiga in terms of computing effort, quality and file size. He has implemented a decoder in M68k assembler and written a tool that converts QOA files into uncompressed AIFF (source code on GitHub). The author points out that this version is not yet optimised and does not use 68020+ instructions.
