Tutorial: Writing an Amiga GUI program in C
Edwin van den Oosterkamp has already dedicated two books to programming on the Amiga: "Classic AmigaOS Programming - An introduction" is an introduction to programming the AmigaOS in C and assembler. The target group are programmers without Amiga experience, or former Amiga programmers who want to develop for the Amiga again after a longer break. "Bare Metal Amiga Programming" goes into the programming of the hardware bypassing the operating system.
We invited the programmer to show how to get started with C programming by means of a concrete example and say thank you very much for the following instructions:

Introduction: The AMOS game "The Gate" (in development)
For quite some time now, we have been reporting on Fabio 'Allanon' Falcucci's projects such as the Hollywood GUI system HGUI or the Hollywood utility APPBuilder. After G.E.M.Z., the programmer has now again started writing a game, which he has given the provisional name "The Gate" and is being written with AMOS Professional and AMCAF & Turbo extensions. We asked Fabio to write something about himself, his development history and that of the new action adventure. Thank you very much, Fabio!

Event: Amiga Ireland 2024
The next Amiga Ireland will take place on 19/20 January 2024. The venue for the meeting, which is regularly attended by more prominent members of the Amiga community, is as usual the Sheraton Hotel in the town of Athlone, located in the heart of the island. Tickets can already be purchased at the title link. The coming Amiga Ireland is to be much more relaxed in terms of the schedule: so there will be neither an "official" dinner nor a main guest. This should leave more time for workshops and games.

Chiptune tracker: Furnace V0.6 for Windows, Mac and Linux
A year and a half after the last release, a new version of Furnace is available: a tool which allows you to create music using sound chips ("chiptune"), most from the 8/16-bit era. It supports a wide range of functions and sound chips, from NES, SNES and Genesis to ES5506, VIC-20 and of course the Amiga.
Every chip is emulated using many emulation cores, therefore the sound that Furnace produces is authentic to that of real hardware. An English-language manual is available.

Platform game: Amiga port of Electro Man
Paweł 'tukinem' Tukatsch - among other things, platform game Tony - is in the process of porting the game Electro Man, originally published in 1992 by Polish programmers Maciej Miasik and Janusz Pelc for MS-DOS, to AGA Amigas (YouTube-Video). FastRam is not mandatory, but recommended. Joystick or keyboard can be used. So far the game has only 2 levels, but the second level is very difficult according to the developer.
