`24.Oct.2025`	Source code editor: Scorpion Engine extension 1.0 for Visual Studio Code Kåre 'Docster' Johansen has released an extension for Microsoft's Visual Studio Code (Windows, Mac OS, Linux) that enables the reading and writing of .codeblock2 code from the Scorpion Engine game construction kit using the free source code editor. Code blocks are essentially groups of instructions that are executed in a linear sequence. This largely corresponds to conventional code. (dr) [News message: 24.

`22.Oct.2025`	SDBox Multiboot 0.7.1 SDBox allows SD cards to be used via the parallel port. At the title link, SDBox-Multiboot version 0.7.1 of a disk image is now available, which can be used to start Workbench on any Amiga model from SDBox. It is also possible to store multiple Workbench installations so that the one corresponding to the Kickstart ROM installed will be selected. (snx) [News message: 22.

`22.Oct.2025`	Do it yourself: Adapter for up to three external floppy drives (incl. Gotek) The "Amiga-external-3x-FDD" adapter allows you to connect up to three external floppy drives, of which one can also be emulated (Gotek SFR1M44-U100 or SFR1M44-U100K). Both unmodified 1.44 MB PC 3.5" drives and those that have already been adapted for the Amiga can be used. (snx) [News message: 22.

`21.Oct.2025` Kymon Zonias (ANF)	Crowdfunding: SDL2 or even SDL3 for AmigaOS/68K & WarpOS (update) At the title link, Kymon 'z!Erec' Zonias is soliciting donations for a port of the SDL2 (Simple DirectMedia Layer) multimedia library for AmigaOS/68k and WarpOS - the minimum goal for this has already been almost reached at the time of publication of this news item. If funding exceeds that amount, extras such as SDL3 and additional libraries (SDL2_mixer, SDL2_image, SDL2_net, MiniGL integration) may also be possible. Steffen 'MagicSN' Häuser has agreed to carry out the work. The reason for this is that many open source games now require SDL2 - however, only SDL 1.2 is currently available for AmigaOS/68k and WarpOS. If crowdfunding is successful, the developer also wants to look into porting Stratagus immediately afterwards. Update (October 21, 2025, 8:42 p.m., nba): The crowdfunding goal has already been reached, and the development of SDL2 for AmigaOS 3.x is now financially secure. According to organizer Kymon Zonias, porting has already begun. The goal has been increased to 1200 Euro and currently stands at 1600 Euro. For every additional 100 Euro raised, an additional SDL2 library will be added: mixer, gfx, sound, image. (snx) [News message: 21.

`21.Oct.2025`	Feasibility study: AMOS game GhostLight In his latest video, matching the season, Robert Smith explains how he wrote the AMOS game GhostLight, which is also available with source code. In the game, you move through a maze in which you find matches to light your way. If your match goes out, the ghosts return, which you have to avoid. The challenge of this feasibility study was - in addition to the algorithms for generating the maze and controlling the ghosts - to make only a moving part of the maze visible and to create a brightness gradient in the peripheral area.
