`05.Dec.2022`	Sokoban clone: LazSokoban for AROS, MorphOS and AmigaOS 4 During his work on the Pascal-based Lazarus Component Library (LCL) for AROS, in April 2016, Marcus 'ALB42' Sackrow had also tested some third-party LCL applications to compile for AROS. One of these was the Sokoban clone LazSokoban, written by Ukrainian programmer Vadim Vitomsky. Sackrow released an AROS version of this (amiga-news.de reported). Now he has revised this version, backported the recent Halloween update of the game and compiled it with the latest LCL. Since this now also offers the possibility to compile programs for MorphOS and AmigaOS 4, the developer has provided versions for all three systems on his website. As he writes, it seems to work well except for a few missing button images. An implementation for AmigaOS 3 is also possible, but according to his tests it is much too slow. (dr) [News message: 05.

`04.Dec.2022`	Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.4 Keir Fraser's "Greaseweazle" does - similar to Kryoflux - read the magnetic information on a floppy disk independently from the format used and saves as much information as possible to generate a so-called "Flux Level Image" in Supercard format (SCP), which enables reading and back-writing of copy-protected disks (amiga-news.de reported) The adapter gets connected between a floppy disk drive - e.g. a standard 3.5" PC one - and a USB port of the PC or Mac. A few moments ago version 1.4 of the Greaseweazle Tools was released providing the following changes: Read support for DIM, FDI, HDM, XDF, and D88 image formats: primarily used with Japanese computers Renamed pc98.hd and pc98.dd formats to pc98.2hd and pc98.2dd Fixed head count on pc98.2hd and pc98.2dd formats Support pc98.2d format (used e.g. by PC-88 and X1) Support pc98.2hs format (used primarily by late PC-98) (dr) [News message: 04.

`04.Dec.2022` Andreas Falkenhahn (ANF)	Hollywood: XML-Plugin 2.0 and APK Compiler 4.3 released Pressemitteilung: Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to announce the immediate availability of version 2.0 of the XML plugin for Hollywood. This plugin, previously known as XML Parser, was one of the first Hollywood plugins and has now received a major update with many new features. The biggest new feature in version 2.0 of the Hollywood XML plugin is that you can now serialize Hollywood tables to XML documents with just a single function call. In the same way you can also deserialize XML documents to Hollywood tables with just a single function call. This is made possible by Hollywood 9's new serialization plugin interface which is why the XML plugin now requires at least Hollywood 9.0. Further new features include lots of new callbacks to handle advanced XML features like namespaces, entities, attlists, and more. Finally, the XML plugin now includes a comprehensive documentation that describes all features and contains many examples. The plugin is now available for free download from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood's cross-platform plugin systemversions for AmigaOS3, AmigaOS4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (x86), Linux (arm, ppc, x86, x64), macOS (ppc, x86, x64), Windows (x86, x64), Android and iOS are provided. Note that Hollywood 9 is strictly required by the XML plugin 2.0. Besides, Hollywood APK Compiler 4.3 has just been released. This fixes a major bug that was introduced in version 4.2 so everybody using version 4.2 should definitely update. The update is provided free of charge for all existing APK Compiler customers and can be downloaded in the restricted download section. (dr) [News message: 04.

`04.Dec.2022` Christian 'TheoTheoderich' Wiegel	Turn-based strategy: River update for "Settle the World" Christian 'TheoTheoderich' Wiegel has released a river update for his turn-based building and trading game "Settle the World" - see detailed introduction on amiga-news.de (YouTube developer video). Compared to the playable preview from the beginning of November (amiga-news.de reported) there are many improvements: Rivers wind through the landscape and can be navigated by small sailing ships There is a new terrain type that is good for planting tobacco A button for unloading units from ships The F1 key shows an overlay in the map and city view with the most important shortcuts and explanations of icons Warnings when leaving a city, e.g. if no production has been set, or the city does not produce enough food Dozens of bugfixes As the author explains, the game is far from finished and this update is just another small step on the way to the full version. You can load "Save-Slot 1" in the game and see what a slightly advanced game state looks like. Furthermore, the developer recommends to save frequently and to use different save-slots, because the game still contains a lot of bugs. Some of these bugs - such as units that suddenly appear twice - could be solved by saving and reloading. Also the game music would sometimes run too fast and can then be turned off and on again via the game options. "Settle the World" is primarily intended as a duel between human opponents, but can also be played alone. The game requires 1 megabyte of ChipRAM and 4 megabytes of FastRAM, a hard disk and at least a 68020 processor. (dr) [News message: 04.
