SDL port for MorphOS: OpenTyrian
Tyrian is a vertically scrolling shoot-'em-up developed by Eclipse Software and published by Epic MegaGames in 1995. The game was originally released as shareware for PC-compatible DOS, with graphics created on an Amiga 1200 (see Wikipedia entry). 'BeWorld' has released an SDL implementation of the open source port 'OpenTyrian' for MorphOS.

On an AmigaOne X5000/20 the port runs fine. The SDL libraries are required. (dr)

Amiga QuickBasic Compiler
On GitHub the developer Günter Bartsch has released the source code as well a first Early Preview 0.7.0 alpha1 of his Amiga QuickBasic Compiler and descibes it as "an experiment in alternate history: what AmigaBASIC could have looked like, had it been developed further tailored to the Amiga OS."

Improvements over AmigaBASIC include:

Advanced type system (including UDTs and Pointers, see below)
Support for non-static functions and subs (enables recursion)
Module support (similar to UNITs in TurboPascal, with full type safety and dependencies)
Modern syntax inspired by FreeBASIC and VisualBASIC
True native 68k compiler
