Javascript: TAWS - The Amiga Workbench Simulation 0.24
TAWS ("The Amiga Workbench Simulation") is a Javascript simulation of the Amiga-Workbench 1.0 - 4.1 for Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Apple-WebKit-Browser. The author would be pleased about any kind of feedback.

Version 0.24 includes the following changes:
  • Preferences:
    • New style «OS4»: GUI elements (TextBox, CheckBox, ListBox, Cycle, Button and Slider) are drawn in an OS4-style.
    • New: Background pattern for preferences dialogs
    • New iconset: BetterWB
  • Requesters for OS versions >= 4.0 now have a XEN look, icons are centred on the screen. The font of the first button is now bold.
  • For OS versions >= 4.0 «Verdana» is now the default font (used for the labels on the preferences dialogs, buttons, etc.) which is quite close to «DejaVu Sans».
  • Clock: Colors are now corresponding for OS versions >= 4.0.
  • New poosibility to use «random» as value for the URL parameter «preset», which will chosse a preset by random. Example:
    http://www.taws.ch/WB.html?preset=random
  • Optional parameter «noforce» instead of «force»: The new default is that the preset of the URL parameter has higher priority than the user settings in the cookie. If «noforce» is stated the priority is witched. Example:
    http://www.taws.ch/WB.html?preset=OS_1.3&noforce
  • New Preset: «OS 1.0»
  • Palette: New entry «GUI Elements background»
  • Text color of selected text in TextBoxes is now set corresponding the «Palette» settings.
  • Adjusted the text in «About» for OS version 4.1.
  • Bugfixes:
    • Some Chrome versions have wrongly been detected as touch devices.
    • In case of an invalid URL preset parameter value now the default preset is used and no longer some stoneaged TAWS default values.
    • In case of loading a Preset by URL parameter, GadTools style was not correctly applied.
    • Correction of the cycles height in MedRes mode.
    • Correction in the startup checks, so TAWS now runs on Firefox 3.6.28 again (the last version for PPC-Macs).

Crowdfunding: Rocket Ranger Reloaded (update)
The current holder of the Cinemawares rights is going to release again the classic action-adventure Rocket Ranger as a "reloaded"-version and has established a crowdfunding-project at Kickstarter.

According to the publisher's own information he is going to "bring the game to as many platforms as possible" and to "make the project freely available for porting to Linux and AmigaOS by any team interested in undertaking these conversions."

Hint of the editorial staff: We do not know, if "freely" means "for free" or "free" (within the meaning of "troublefree" and so on). The last meaning would imply to make payment of licence fees which would make an Amiga-port unlikely.

Update: (04.12.2014, 18:15, cg)

In the German thread for this news item, a Cinemaware representative announces that all required materials for porting the Game to the Amiga will be made available free of charge. since Cinemaware does not expect a potential Amiga version to generate any revenue. (cg) (Translation: dr)
