VGR: GUI Screenshots of the first Amiga USB-Stack

Under the title link one may be awed by the first pictures of USB-Stack Poseidon in alpha version. There is not a lot of informative text on the page, but one can get an idea of the nature and state of the stack from the screenshots.

First mices and keyboards, then cameras (web and digital), hubs, printers and other gizmos can be used and easily configured.

Poseidon runs on Subway (A1200), Highway (ZorroII) as well as GREX PCI- USB-controller, and the internal USB connection of the Pegasos. (ps) (Translation: dm)

EZP@gerNG Plugin-SDK Appearances
The Software Developer Kit (SDK) shows in what ways the external call-service plugins may be programmed, in order to send EZP@gerNG over a Web gateway. This is a way for EZP@gerNG broadcasts to not only be sent over the built-in or bundled services and protocols, but also for any service that has an associated plugin.

Near the documentation of these programming excerpts the SDK demonstrates the use of the ezhttp.library and the different functions of a simple HTTP communication, as might be used in the loading of a web-page or the sending of forms.

The SDK is available in download section. (ps) (Translation: dm)

Amiga Society: News about Action-Strategy Game ´Schlachtfeld´
Amiga Society writes: "There are some new things in Schlachtfeld: Eddy has delivered a few unique things in the textures. This allows an optimized 256 color palette to be displayed. The new pictures are then placed online once again. For all of you who now say "256 colors aren't enough..." there will certainly be more colors available in some later phase. But now is the time to raise high Peter's old motto: the game should run on "any" AGA machine. And for that we have a restriction to the old version. A new alpha is well within reach - it'll be presented as before without a lot of publicity. We hope to have a new Beta very soon!" (ps) (Translation: dm)

Engine 'Inga' to Be Ported to All Amiga Platforms by Computer City
The graphic adventure engine ´Inga´ from Inutilis is going to be ported to all Amiga platforms by Computer City.

INGA stands for INutilis Graphic Adventure and is an engine for graphic adventures in the style of Monkey Island 3. It was to have been developed solely for the game Ermentrud, however it should serve as a basis for all interested developers who don't want to reinvent the wheel. Whoever wants to see Inga in action can download the demo of Ermentrud and try it out.

You'll find the complete press release under the title link. (ps) (Translation: dm)

Matrox G1000 offered - including OS4 Support (Update)
The graphic card manufacturer Matrox appears to intend to introduce the new product "Matrox G1000" on the 14th of May. The first listings of the technical specifications are shown on many different hardware-oriented websites: matrox.jpg, text.

On ANN Ben Hermans (Hyperion) opened up speculation about whether OS4 drivers would be available for this card: "Oh, you can really trust in the existence of this card. The thing totally creams the Geforce 4. We saw it in action... yeah, OS4 will support this card. But not right away, modern architecture of this type requires Warp3D V5 ("Nova")... This card is lightyears ahead of the other stuff on the market. The only thing that even comes close to it is the P10 from 3DLabs. I'm just happy that I can finally let the cat out of the bag."

Update:
Ben Hermans, the project leader of OS4 found his ANN remarks on several different news forums (see below links); his Matrox G1000 "chatter" was quoted. Apparently Ben was the first to actually see this card. There was speculation that the remarks were really an attack on the nVidia-Imperium, but Hermans disagreed with that in a new ANN posting (that maintained the truthfulness of his earlier comments).

Astronomy: First Developer Snapshot for Digital Almanac III
As was announced last week, the first developer snapshot for Digital Almanac III may be downloaded from its homepage (see title link). This update is a beta but it is fully usable! It provides a preview of a possible OS 4 version.

Because of the increased requirements this update may only be used by owners of the appropriate hardware and software (see the homepage for details).

The following features have arrived:

  • Hertzsprung-Russel diagram.
  • Renewed data banks for parallax data (distancing) and improved stellar information and online infos.
  • Animations mode (save) are only still QuickTime or AVI. The animations frames are not shown to scale.
  • Reworked toolbar icons from Martin "Mason" Merz.
  • New GUI layout.
  • Dynamic caching of stellar data, in order to build the cards quicker.
  • "Low memory handler" for when memory runs out.
I'm asking each user of the update to send feedback! (ps) (Translation: dm)

Amiforce: Blitz2_Examples for Download
An archive of example source codes has been available for download on Amiforce for a short time now. This archive is based on the original Blitz2_Exampledisk. The following alterations were made:
  • Completely everything in Glowicons.
  • Icon-Info adapted for Ab2 and Co.
  • Docs were fully translated into German.
  • Remarks in the source codes were partially translated.
  • Diverse adaptations were made on a few of the source codes.

A majority of the sources were tested with Ab2 and were required to run smoothly. This is another step to bring beginners closer to Ab2. More projects are coming. (ps) (Translation: dm)

Amiga Arena - Interview with Marius Schwarz
A short while ago a new IRC client debuted: "BenderIRC." The first release of this client was able to square off against competitors such as "AmIRC" and "BlackIRC" through a configurable GUI and a plugin system.

Marius "Cyborg" Schwarz talked with Amiga Arena about the development of BenderIRC, IRC channels, Amiga, and what we may expect in the future. The interview (in German) is viewable here.

Amiga Arena comment by Olaf Köbnik:
"I read some of comments about BenderIRC in the forums, and I want to appeal to you all that at the end of the day it depends on us if these new programs will be developed any further. Programmers are guided by bug reports and constructive suggestions. That's something only we, the users, can provide.

If one enjoys a particular program, she or he should send a short email to the developer, because without that it can very quickly occur that without this feedback the program gets tucked away on the shelf. The Amiga developers are already too few. Lets make an effort to keep the communication going, and surely more people will." (ps) (Translation: dm)
