`25.Jul.2022` George Sokianos (ko-fi)	AmigaOS 4: Flawfinder finds vulnerabilities in C/C++ source code George 'walkero' Sokianos has ported Flawfinder, originally written by David A. Wheeler in Python, to AmigaOS 4 and explained: "In the last couple of years that I started working on AmigaOS applications, I always look how to make use of modern tools with my code and how to avoid doing mistakes that will cost performance and, most importantly, security. That's why my projects are covered by an online test platform like Codacy. What I found is that such platforms use tools that are available, such as CppCheck and Flawfinder. Then I thought, 'Is it possible to bring those tools to AmigaOS 4? Would it be useful?'. So... Flawfinder is a code analysis tool that searches in source files, looking for potential security flaws. This is developed by David A. Wheeler in Python, supporting v2.7 and above. So it looked like a good candidate to work with. The problem with AmigaOS 4 is that the available Python version is 2.5. The good thing is that Flawfinder does not use code that is really tough to backport. After a few changes on print() usage here and there and some other fixes, Flawfinder works fine and it is available for everyone to use it. You can find my work and my latest release 2.0.19 r1 on my personal Git website and soon on OS4Depot. The only thing you need to do to use it is to extract the lha file contents anywhere on your hard disk and execute something like: flawfinder src/ Inside the archive, you will find the documentation in HTML and PDF format, and please consult it for a lot more options."

`24.Jul.2022` Amiga Future (website)	Do it yourself: GotekExtensionBoard The GotekExtensionBoard, consisting of an external and an internal side, is intended for the non-destructive installation of a Gotek disk drive emulator in an Amiga 500 - the middle part of the conductor foil can be led through the ventilation slots of the Amiga housing, so that the display and switches etc. can then be connected on the outside.

`22.Jul.2022` Indie Retro News (Webseite)	Scorpion Engine: Pre-versions of 'Spy Hunter', 'Wonder Boy' and 'GothicVania' Spy Hunter is an arcade classic from Midway that is currently being converted for the Amiga with the help of the Scorpion Engine (video). The pre-release version currently available for download does not yet contain any sound effects or background music. Ryuichi Nishizawa's 'Wonder Boy' (video) is also an arcade machine conversion: it is inspired by the first part of the Wonder Boy series, for the Amiga only the successor Wonderboy in Monsterland has been available so far. An older alpha version can be obtained from the developer's website. 'GothicVania' (video) is a 'tech demo' demonstrating the features and the AGA support of the Scorpion Engine and included in the latest version of the engine. Among other things, a triple parallax scrolling is presented. It is currently unclear whether the game will ever be developed into a complete game. (cg) [News message: 22.
