`02.Sep.2002` Christian Rosentreter (ANF)	On public demand: Download "Shanghai Dragon" AGA version On public demand Christian Rosentreter has published the AGA version of "Shanghai Dragon". Download: tksd.lha Please note that this version is not being further developed anymore, and is really not comparable to the coming CGX version. The AGA version only shows the framework, the CGX version will offer better graphics and a much enhanced functional range. Please also note that the AGA version cannot be redirected to gfx card screens properly, and also that there is no documentation available. There is a screen shot at the ZENZER-2dNOW-Forum. Further details (about the future CGX version) can be gleaned from the interview with Christian Rosentreter in AMIGA ARENA. You can also find some information about the planned game on the Amiga Future page. However, the CGX version will not be released "in a week" - this was a little misunderstanding. A release in late autumn is more probable. (ps) (Translation: cb) [News message: 02. Sep. 2002, 10:28] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`14.Jul.2002` Andreas Falkenhahn (E-Mail)	Tool: Rainboot4 in development Rainboot4 is currently in development. In prior versions Rainboot was only a program to show stunning demos during the Amiga's boot process. But with Version 4 it made its step to become a complete multimedia authoring system, which means that it has now a programming script language, which allows the programmer to create applications in a very easy way. The programmer can use many of Rainboot4's functions which save him a lot of time. For example, you do not have to care if your application runs on Picasso96, Cgfx, AGA or ECS. That's Rainboot4's thing now! It does everything for you and it does it system friendly. Here's a short overview what's currently possible: 100% system-friendly. Runs on all Amiga systems. Application can be displayed in window on Workbench or own screen. Transparent windows on Workbench (see screen shot). Transition effects. Functions to scroll graphics smoothly. Transparent Graphics. compiler and linker for creating executables. Easy monitoring of user input (keyboard, mouse). DOS functions. String functions. Math funktions. Variables and arrays. Applications run independent of the current screenmode. Compatible with older Rainboot versions. Different fonts can be used. Supports anim brushes. Supports sound modules and samples. Conditions (if, else, elseif, endif). Loops (for, next, while, wend). System functions. Can still be used during booting. MorphOS and AmigaOS4 versions planned. and much more. The interesting thing is, that Rainboot4 does all the work for you. For example, the following script opens a window with the file mypic.iff as the background and writes "Hello World" centered in this window: %BGPIC1=mypic.iff %CODE %Locate(CENTER,CENTER) %PrintStr("Hello World") %WaitLeftMouse %Quit This simplicity is used by all functions of Rainboot4. And it's fully system friendly. All operations are executed through the operating system or the RTG system respectively. It was never easier to code intuitive programs with such little effort but maximum effectivity and user friendlyness. Screen shots of Rainboot4 are available on the Airsoft Softwair home page: www.airsoftsoftwair.de. (sd) (Translation: cb) [News message: 14.
