Game announcement: Arcade action game 'Turbo Santa'
After the huge success of Turbo Tomato, John Girvin of Nivrig Games has announced his next game for the 68k Amigas: In Turbo Santa, the player must fill in for Santa Claus, who has fallen asleep, and try to deliver presents in time to save Christmas.


The story: "Christmas Day has come to The Garden. The children are starting to wake up and wander around, still half-asleep, looking for the presents Santa has left them. But none are to be found!

Gather magical gifts as they appear and toss them to the dreaming children. Don't miss, and watch out for the GRONCH dashing around stealing presents! Take too long and the children will wake up to no presents and Christmas will be ruined!"

Turbo Santa (video) has been announced for December and will be available for free. It will require 1Mb Chip Ram and Kickstart 2.04. Music is by DJ METUNE. (dr)

Graphics card: Status update on the ZZ9000
In 2018 the ZZ9000 as the successor of the FPGA-based and open source Zorro II/III compatible graphics board MNT VA2000 could be preordered. The ZZ9000 combines a RTG graphics board, AGA scandoubler and network card equipped with two 666-MHz-ARM coprocessors for applications demanding high processing power like accelerated graphic rendering or JPEG and MP3 decoding. Besides, an USB port provides support for USB mass storages.

Now on the product site the following statement was published: "Due to the global chip shortage, we have decided to stop selling ZZ9000 temporarily. We have preordered all necessary parts to build and ship all existing orders. The current shipping target for 92% of existing orders is January 2022 and the rest in March 2022. Thank you for your patience and support." (dr)

Tools for ARexx development: RxEnv V1.2
At the beginning of September we reported on Carl Svensson's project RxEnv which is supposed to add a 'REPL' to the ARexx development environment.
REPL is for 'Read, Eval, Print, Loop' and offers the option to enter any ARexx code in an interactive window and get immediately response. This might be helpful to find bugs in the code (see this article).

His intension and the story of his project, Svensson has explained in his article The Joy Of Limitations: Writing an ARexx REPL in ARexx. Now he has released version 1.2 of RxEnv with the following changes:
  • Implemented immediate mode in the REPL.
  • If an error occurs, rxpp now exits with return code 20 instead of return code 1.
  • Added malloc() checks to rxpp.
  • Added the pprx script.
  • Minor cleanups in REPL code.
