AMOS Layers System 1.100 & 2.4
Simone 'saimo' Bevilacqua's "AMOS Layers System" (amiga-news.de reported) makes it possible to overlay several of its screens when programming under AMOS, specifying the order, colors and opaqueness.
Since our last report, minor optimizations have been made, resulting in more compact, faster program code and ending the dependency on the mathtrans.library. This did benefit the author's recent game updates.

Simone 'saimo' Bevilacqua has updated his games ArtPazz (puzzle game where jumbled pieces of a classic painting have to be pushed back), Follix (a puzzle game inspired by Atomix, only here letters have to be lined up) and Ring around the World (point'n'click adventure about a supposedly drowned man with memory loss).
The changes since our respective last news-items only concern program optimizations and bug fixes.

AROS: Devlogs to AmiFox
About a week ago we reported that Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow is also working on an AROS version of his browser AmiFox in addition to AmigaOS 3. In two new blog entries he now reports about the further development: thanks to a new version of the AmiSSL library AmiFox runs on AROS ABIv0 with encrypted https connections to the server.
And he reported how he sets up an AREXX port under the MUI equivalent Zune so that AmiFox can work with one of his other programmes such as AmiTube or MUIMapparium (YouTube video).

MorphOS: Real-time strategy games Vanilla Conquer RA and TD V1.1
A week ago Mark 'bigfoot' Olsen released his port of the second part of the real-time strategy series Command & Conquer, Red Alert (RA), for MorphOS based on the open source project Vanilla Conquer. Now he has not only made version 1.1 available, which contains a bug fix for users playing on 4:3 or 5:4 monitors, but has also released version 1.1 of his port of the first part of the Vanilla Conquer project, Tiberian Dawn (TD). This now also offers TinyGL support and thus the same improvements as his RA port.

MorphOS: MIDI-Tools 1.4 for BarsnPipes 1.3
Alfred Faust writes: Antoine 'tcheko' Dubourg has thankfully improved and developed the camdusbmidi.class for MorphOS in a very short time to such an extent that it now also manages MIDI data transmission with the so-called multiport USB MIDI interfaces without any restrictions.
For this I have adapted the MIDI-In and MIDI-Out tools in BarsnPipes. Now it is possible to manage up to 256 (16x16) separate MIDI channels (instruments) in BarsnPipes with a multiport USB MIDI interface. However, these multiport USB MIDI interfaces must be built according to the USB MIDI standard. They are available in good music stores and also online (e.g. Thomann).

PiStorm32-lite: Assembly instructions of CM4 adapter published
Claude Schwarz' PiStorm connects a Raspberry Pi to the CPU socket of an Amiga via an adapter and uses the British single-board computer to emulate a fast m68k processor. The lite version is supposed to take into account the current difficult situation in the procurement of components and in principle be cheaper (amiga-news.de reported). Basically, the adapter is intended for use with a PI3A, PI3B, PI4B or PiZero2. But for some time now, Emu68 developer Michal Schulz had been working on the development of an additional adapter that would allow the operation of a Compute Module 4 instead of a Raspberry Pi (amiga-news.de reported).

Text adventure: Memory Lane
The developer 'ComSha' has released a classic text adventure called "Memory Lane" in which you can explore a city and discover mysterious places. You have to collect various objects and interact with other citizens. The catch: they don't seem to be able to remember you.
Depending on the player's actions, six different endings to the game are possible. The developer created his text adventure during an internship, which he updated again on a larger scale a year later.
