AROS: Weekly progresses (since 19.02.2018)
Last week's progress in development of the open-source AmigaOS clone AROS:
- Fixed/re-introduced i8259A legacy PIC support (neil)
- Bug fixes that allow ACPI support to be fully disabled when using the 'noacpi' boot option (neil)
- Allow PCI devices to be used again when ACPI is disabled (neil)
- Fixed a memory corruption bug when setting up IRQ routing table information for PCI (neil)
- Added a new boot option, 'noapic' (not to be confused with 'noacpi'), that disables modern APICs in favour of legacy i8259A PICs (e.g. in case APIC support doesn't work well on your PC). 'noapic' and 'noacpi' must be used together to have an effect (neil)
- Fixed a bug in APIC support that led to crashes during boot because the kernel's list of system call handlers was corrupted during IRQ initialisation. This fixes booting with ACPI disabled (neil)

Entwickler-X: Status update to jump'n run "Spencer"
On a1k.org Thomas 'imagodespira' Claus, member of Entwickler-X, has published a status update to the jump'n run game "Spencer" which currently is in development:
Technically and graphically the game has been completed except for little things. The next step will be level testing and some game play adjustments for controlling gaming fun and level of difficulty (spreading items, the setting of the enemies, recreating bad levels). The website now is online, but the trailer and the links to the shops still will have been added.
AmigaOS:
Substantial parts of the engine, Frank has written simultaneously to the PC version. Despite of that it will take a while until the game can be released. As usual, the little OS specific parts take up time: Optimizations of the graphics (Warp3D Nova/ OpenGLES), avoiding problems (shader incompatibilities), joypad and sound.
The developers also have to check if Warp3D Nova + OpenGLES2 officially work with Spencer. Since Frank has been communicating with Hans and Daniel, the driver includes software parts which the official version does not.
Entwickler-X are really pleased to finally have Spencer completed. The first 3D game actually was a challenge and has prepared the ground for future projects.
This video shows the complete level 5 of the game. Other (hopefully also AmigaOS specific) videos will follow!

Amiga in use; former city train simulator in Berlin-Marzahn
The "Berliner Kurier" has reported about a former city train simulator used in GDR times which after a modernization in 1990 was equipped with an Amiga 3000. It was used for displaying control signals in the rail videos. The system still is operational and can be visited after advance reservation. Currently donations are collected for modernizing the computers - the current system is worn and is not running stably.

Jump'n Run: Schütze Mike VS Zombie (demo)
"Schütze Mike VS Zombie" is a jump'n run shooter featuring nine levels in three different worlds created with Backbone. According to the author, the game can be played through within one to four hours. There are four different weapons and the story is told by presenting animated cut scenes. Additionally nine different and animated "kill sequences" show how the hero kills a zombie.
"Schütze Mike VS Zombie" requires an Amiga with 68020 processor and 4 MB RAM. About 90 percent of the development has been completed, among others the soundtrack is still missing. The author would be delighted at some testers. After finishing the development of the game it is supposed to be delivered for free as well as at cost price for a "boxed edition".
