Milestone 1 of Jazilla released
After the appeal incl. fund-raising campaign initiated by DiscreetFX for porting the Web browser Mozilla for the Amiga, the works on various porting projects are apparently picking up speed.

Thus a first alpha version of Jazilla has been presented, requiring Java however, but which might in the mid-term be compatible with AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS, if these will fully support Java.

Significant features of Jazilla:
  • chrome:// support
  • JavaScript implemented for the GUI thanks to the Mozilla.org Rhino engine. HTML Scripting coming.
  • GUI in part, uses XUL and W3C DOM
  • Written in 100% Java
  • Open Source
  • Uses the NetBrowser renderer, which is actually based on Jazilla-classic work.

SN-KontoArchiv V1.12 and "Die Kleine Gilde" overview
SN-KontoArchiv v1.12 released
SN-KontoArchiv is an account management software with many input and statistics functions. The program is email ware. New in version 1.12 is a bug fixing related to reading the keyfile.

Game: Die Kleine Gilde
Soon will a new version (V0.2) of the economy simulation "Die Kleine Gilde" be released. The game status changed from email ware to shareware. The price will probably be 5,- or 10,- Euro.

The author Steffen Nitz needs your help for the game: people who can give him appr. 30 names in medieval style for a pub and/or 10 names for houses gets the keyfile for free. When forty names will have been found v0.2 will be released.

Besides that beta testers and a graphical artist are looked for. (ps) (Translation: wk)

Woof3D: New Crossplatform-3D-API
Woof3D is a shared library for Amiga, Windows95 and Linux x86. It offers a very SIMPLE way to create 3D program in C.

So Woof 3D is a graphic engine mainly a 3D engine for texturing 3D polygons much more like 3D cards. It evolved a lot from its starting in May 2000 and now offers high level and low level functions for 3D and 2D graphics.

Why an other 3D engine ?
  • Cause Woof3D is very SIMPLE to program. You don't need to know anything about the supported OS
  • Cause Woof3D offer true cross platforming with Linux X86, Windows95, AmigaOS 68K versions (one C source for all).
  • Cause Woof3D offer high level functions like direct Vscape or Caligari files handling.
  • Cause Woof3D also offer basic 2D and 3D primitives that allow to program lots of simple graphics softwares like OS-friendly games.
  • Cause beginners in C language don't have to know about pointers or dereferencing to use Woof3D
Supported platforms
  • PC x86 with Windows95 and DirectDraw (2D hardware acceleration)
  • Amiga 68k with AmigaOS 3.0-3.9 and Cybergraphics/Picasso96 (2D hardware acceleration ) or any computer emulating an Amiga the same way (with WinUAE, DosUAE, etc.)
  • Amiga 68k with AmigaOS 3.0-3.9 and a Warp3D 3D card (3D hardware acceleration )
  • PC x86 with Linux and Xwindow (2D hardware acceleration)
