Shoot'em Up: SkillGrid 1.3
About three years ago, Simone 'saimo' Bevilacqua (e.g. BOH, Huenison) released his abstract vertical shoot'em up 'SkillGrid' (amiga-news.de reported).

Additional to several improvements, version 1.3 offers a new weapon (YouTube video) and for AmigaCD32 users the possibility to load and save highscores from/in NVRAM. However, since no testers were available, this feature is to be regarded as experimental. He refers to the readme.txt on the CD. (dr)

Custom chips: Replacement project of Buffee developers
As Renee Cousins, one of the developers of the turbo card project 'Buffee' (amiga-news.de reported), explained a few days ago, she has turned back to her original Amiga project dedicated to hard-to-find custom chips and their replacements. The first one is Gary and will be called 'Gary Zander'.

At the moment this board is 100% reliably tested on an Amiga 500 and only needs a bit more time during reboot. The lack of tri-state and open-drain pins on the Xilinx chip would be the reason not to release it now. The board would be produced and tested with these supplemented pins soon.

Following this, the replacement for the Agnus will be tackled, called 'Willoe'. Currently, 3D models of the board are being printed to ensure they fit into the PLCC socket. The rough functional scope of Willoe:
  • 100 pin TQFP Lattice MachXO2 core (XO2-2000)
  • Near instant-on (CPLD-like) functionality
  • 16MB of 133MHz, 8-bit pSRAM for AGA+ bandwidth
  • 1MB, 2MB Agnus and 2MB Alice compatibility
  • Jumpered NTSC/PAL default modes (will also obey pin and software changes)
  • Automatic 8372 and 8375 pin detection (universal socket compatibility)
  • Many optional features to come

Development environment: Update on 'Grimoire' project
About a month ago we reported about Frédéric 'AmiDARK' Cordier's new project of a software development solution for Amiga computers: Grimoire. In two recent blog entries he reports about the progress on the project:

With the first entry he opens his developer diary and lists all changes he has made to the project starting in January 2020 until today. The second entry reports specifically on his progress with 'screens':
  • 'getBestScreenMode' can be returned for Planar and Saga Chunky modi.
  • 'OpenScreen' can open bitplanes screens (up to 256 colors).
  • working on ’primitive’ copper list support for full screen view with 1 screen. This will later be replaced by a more complex system that can handle more than one screen in view and grid effects.

Accelerator board project: Buffee partly Open Source again
At the end of March we reported that the turbo card project 'Buffee', originally started as Open Source under a non-commercial Creative Commons license, is fully Closed Source. In a new blog entry from yesterday, the developers now announce that the source code for PJIT has been reopened and the private repository has been merged and closed. From now on there is only one repository for PJIT.

Closed Source on the other hand remains the firmware, which contains the boot loader, the PRU programs and the CPLD image, and the hardware design files. (dr)

Kickstarter campaign: 'Tank Mouse' update
The Polish designer Lukas Remis had successfully finished a Kickstarter campaign for the re-release of the wireless Commodore Maus 1352 (amiga-news.de reported).

In a short status update, the developer writes that he is in the process of updating the mouse firmware and finding the best solution for the USB-DB9 adapter regarding the chip shortage. Next up, he says, is the production of the injection molds. In the recent poll on which color shade to use, most votes fell on RAL 9002, which was also used for the campaign photos. However, the developer is looking into the possibility of using a second color shade: RAL 1013 (overview of RAL color shades). (dr)

He would like to share his experiences with it and has started a corresponding YouTube channel. Currently there are four videos showing the installation, giving an overview of the program, demonstrating the setup of the workplace as well as the MIDI export. More videos are to follow. (dr)
