MorphOS: QR-Code generator 'QRCodeLab'
MorphOS developer Frank Mariak has released a MUI tool called 'QRCodeLab' which can be used to easily create QR codes and afterwards copying them to the Clipboard or saving them as pictures. We have tested the tool using our Amiga-News website: Working!




As the author wrote, "currently, it only supported encoding to UTF8 and non of the other compressed formats like numeric and/or alphanumeric are supported to reduce the code size. It dynamically adjusts the QRCode version based on the length of string."
If you have any suggestions or ideas for improvement, please feel free to contact the author via mail. (dr)

Reprint: 'Commodore Amiga: a visual compendium'
In 2014, the book 'Commodore Amiga: a visual compendium' was successfully financed by a Kickstarter campaign. In a reprint available from 22. November "over the course of some 420 pages, 'Commodore Amiga: a visual compendium' showcases more than 140 of the biggest titles, bringing them vividly to life with a double-page screen grab or loading page. Each is accompanied by quotes and commentary from renowned Amiga artists, developers and publishers, including R.J. Mical, David Braben, Sid Meier, Ron Gilbert, Julian Eggebrecht, Tobias Richter, Dave Gibbons and many more. In this latest reprint of Commodore Amiga: a visual compendium, we’ve added a handful of new game reviews, as well as including a spread for Dune. Contributor entries now include their role in the game or profession, in line with more recent visual compendiums." (dr)

Tech-Demo: Update for 'Street Fighter 2' game with Scorpion Engine
'Street Fighter 2' is the attempt to recreate the well-known beat'm up on the Amiga using the Scorpion Engine in a better way. The author is not going to develop a full game but hopes to inspire other developers. The update for the playable demo version includes the following changes:
  • Added (fake) character selection, (cursor moves and has some sounds)
  • Improved palette for HUD, VS screen and win screen
  • Added Ken walking towards Ryu if he's too far away (buggy)
  • Added small knockback when Ken gets hit
  • Added P1 score with correct font and KO sfx

Countdown: C64 & Amiga game music remade as epic film scores
Running until Sunday, 24. October 00:39 CEST, a Kickstarter campaign tries to finance the C64 & Amiga game music album 'Epic Action Vol1' (amiga-news.de reported). So far 13.000 Euro from the required 23.000 Euro were payed. On our request a member of Prismatic Realms told that a failure of the financing also definitely mean the end for the project. But in any case the group will continue to develop retro games. (dr)

AmigaGuide to HTML converter: GuideML 3.16 for AmigaOS 3/4
GuideML is an AmigaGuide to HTML converter which can convert most AmigaGuides and since v3.1 also has a GUI. After 13 years the author Chris Young has updated the tool, which originally was started by Richard Körber. Additional to some bug fixes, now the tool uses the locale.library v38+ which should remove accents from characters for better compatibility. And version 3.16 introduces basic support for the '@{img' command of AmigaOS 3.2.




The command line version now requires OS2.1 (but no longer tested by the author) while the GUI version at least requires AmigaOS 3.2. The archive includes also a version for Amiga OS4 (screenshots). In our little test the conversion worked fine with different AmigaGuide files. But the tool does not create a protocol file so you do not know what maybe went wrong. A 'main.html' file always is created as well as seperate html files and for the other chapters.

The program is open source, the source code available on GitHub. (dr)
