Video player: Amos Anim Player V2023.08.12
The "Amos Anim Player" of the group "ELECTRIC BLACK SHEEP" is a very simple IFF-ANIM player that runs on any Amiga. It can play compressed IFF-Anim formats synchronised with a separate IFF Audio Sample (or MOD) (amiga-news.de reported). Changes since our last news item:
- Reducer: Overal motion sensitivity is set to automatic (considering the amount of changes between frames)
- Reducer: fine sensitivity is adjustable by user
- Reducer: High/Normal/Low Quality option (more blocks but smaller size)
- Reducer: Bug Fix (related to: every fourth line left some residue/arifact)
- Player : Screen was not double buffered after reselect a new file to play.(fixed)
- Player : Fast forward/Rew step is fixed to 100 frames, now eats less ram. Now 14 kb, previously was 720K because the program loged everey frame!
- Reducer: Filter against noise
- Player: Something to handle the error of Amos (when anim framesize above 40Kb)
- Player: Fast forward/Reward is fixed, loged, saved and auto loaded if the anim is already been played. So forward is faster to use, because if the log exist.... it is a direct jump.

AMOS: Eclips animation in "Projects in the attic" updated
At the end of November, the game developer group "Electric Black Sheep" had published a collection of games under the name "Projects in the attic", which were created for test purposes with the programming language AMOS (amiga-news.de reported). Included was the game "Eclips", in which you steer an owl through a landscape that is always the same. The group added the archive "EclipsAnim.rar" to this game, which offered a complete animation in the sense of changing landscapes. This was updated today and the member Sövény Imre explained us:
"By default, I can't put a blitter object on top of an iff animation, because AMOS automatically updates the surface underneath to a previous state when the blitter object is moved.
That's why so far I could only move sprites over it, because it didn't spoil it, but in that way I could move one "large" sprite over it.
In the new upload, however, there are several large blitter objects above it. It's slow, but worth a try." (dr)

AmigaOS 4: Amiga Game Framework
After Janne Peräaho dedicated himself to porting Python games to AmigaOS 4 among other things in the past (amiga-news.de reported), he has now started a completely new project: the "Amiga Game Framework". "Amiga Game Framework" is intended for programming 2D games under AmigaOS 4 and offers a user-friendly and intuitive C-API for 2D graphics, playing sounds, reading user input and more.
Asked about the motivation and intention of his project, Janne explains that he intends to use it in future game ports, but also hopes it will inspire other programmers to write new 2D games for AmigaOS 4. The goal is to make the programming interface so simple that anyone with basic C programming skills can write a game with it.
And he continued explaining: "The programming interface (API) is object oriented. First you create a game object by calling GetFrameworkInterface() function and then you can call the returned object's methods, like OpenWindow(), Line(), etc.
The framework is a set of include files that you include in your code like this: #include <frameworks/game/game.h> "
Janne has not yet published the source code of the framework because the event handler is still missing. Without it, you can't write real games because you can't recognise keystrokes or mouse movements, nor can you close the game window by clicking the close button. Currently, he is working on elementary geometric shapes, so-called graphic primitives. The project status picture on "OS4 Coding" shows which parts of the framework are finished and which are still in progress:
All the planned drawing functions (graphic primitives) are ready, but some of them still need to be improved. Currently, he is still thinking about how music should be integrated: should one be able to control a CD-ROM drive to play music, should there be a software synthesiser that one controls, MIDI support, or should the music be streamed from an OGG/MP3 file. On his project page, he has published a few example pictures as well as archives. (dr)

AmigaOS 4: AAMP 2.0 (Apache, MySQL and PHP)
Edgar Schwan wrote: This package offers a development environment on your Amiga, with which you
can create and test your own web projects. Similar to the well-known XAMPP
package for Linux and Windows, it contains the HTTP (web) server "Apache"
with compiled-in support for the scripting language "PHP" (version 8.0.28 and
5.2.10) and the database server "MySQL" version 5.5.10.
AAMP is not only interesting for developers. This means that web applications can also be run locally on the Amiga. These are e.g. the database administrator "phpMyAdmin" or the image manager "Coppermine" - just to name a few.
You can create your own tools with the included "php" interpreter. "PHP" is easy to learn and with its extensions a powerful language.
New in PHP 8 is the ability to use the "php" tool as a web server, so it is a simple alternative to Apache.
Last but not least, data can be managed with the "MySQL" database server, which can then also be accessed via the network. External programs (e.g. IODBC) can use this server as a database backend.
New in AAMP 2.0:
- New version 8.0.28 of PHP. Together with the new MySQL server, the latest web applications can be used again.
The old version 5.2.10 is still included to keep older projects running.
You can switch between the two versions at any time using a script.
- Updated MySQL database server from version 5.1.35 to version 5.5.10.
- Updates of the tools "myApacheStarter" and "mySQLcontrol" - now also with Italian and Spanish localization.
- The Subversion package including Apache's WebDAV modules is now included and enabled by default.
- Updates of the used libraries:
- curl 7.19.7 -> curl 7.61.1
- libgcrypt 1.2.4 -> libgcrypt 1.8.2
- libgpg-error 1.4 -> libgpg-error 1.27
- libiconv 1.9.2 -> libiconv 1.17
- libpng 1.2.13 -> libpng 1.2.49
- libxml2 2.6.19 -> libxml2 2.9.14
- libxslt 1.1.14 -> libxslt 1.1.34
- openssl 1.0.0d -> openssl 1.0.2o
- PDFlib-Lite 6.0.1 -> PDFlib-Lite 7.0.5p3 (only PHP 5)
- tiff v3.4 -> tiff 3.8.2
- neon 0.29.0 -> neon 0.31.1
- sqlite 3.4.2 -> sqlite 3.9.3
- subversion 1.6.17 -> subversion 1.6.23
- Newly added libraries and tools:
- cadaver 0.23.3 (WebDAV-Client)
- coreutils 5.2.1 (utilities for the Unix shell)
- gmp 6.2.0 (library for arbitrary precision arithmetic)
- gnutls 3.7.3 (modern implementation of the TLS/SSL protocol)
- libtasn1 4.9 (an ASN.1 encryption library)
- libwebp 0.5.2 (library to encode and decode images in WebP format)
- nettle 3.7 (a cryptographic library)
- openldap 2.4.49 (implements LDAP directory services)
- Now includes a customized version of the ABC shell called "ampsh". This
avoids collisions with other packages that use the ABC shell, such as the
AmigaOS4 SDK or AmiCygnix.
With a script in the AAMP main directory you can start it on the workbench
and access the AAMP tools directly.
- This package is a complete rebuild of AAMP. This and extensive trouble-
shooting eliminated many problems that were still in AAMP 1.0.
- The base library "libaos4util" has been completely revised.

Dungeon Crawler: The Last Dungeon V0.7.1C
As a contribution to AmiGameJam 2022, 'PixelPlop' had released a first, playable, but still incomplete version of "The Last Dungeon" (YouTube video). Now he has released another update, fixing several bugs:
- Fixed multiple issues with the status panel not displaying the correct number of gold/keys/bombs.
- Enemies can now display the item they are carrying which will hopefully make it less likely to miss the key in the first room on the right!
- Fixed a bug where image draw offsets were getting reset to 0 when loading graphics from DAT files.
- Fixed a bug where the auto map would sometimes not draw correctly for the first room.
- Fixed a bug where pushable objects would sometimes draw the tile to the left when restoring background tiles.
- Fixed a bug where the spinning sword on the title screen would draw in the wrong colours after returning from the character select screen

Programming language: Third public alpha version of "Amos Professional Unity"
By means of his "Amos Professional Unity" project, Frédéric 'AmiDARK' Cordier is in the process of adding new features - such as AGA support - to the classic BASIC compiler AMOS Professional (YouTube video on AGA sprites). Now he has published the third public alpha version (V0.4) on his GitHub page with the following changes:
- Removed non kept extra commands for Custom Screens modes. Rebuild all the Custom Screens system.
- Added space in file 'configuration/APUnity_Editor_Config.s' for eXtensions registration system
- Added new command : GFXMODE = get saga c2p screen mode( Width, Height, Depth, Scanmode ) [AmosProUnity.lib/L_L_GetSagaC2PScreenModeEx]
- Added new command : GFXMODE = get saga c2p screen mode( Width, Height, Depth ) [AmosProUnity.lib/L_GetSagaC2PScreenMode]
- Started new command : open custom screen ScreenID, Width, Height, GFXMODE
- Added SAGA CPU/GFX Detection at startup to open SAGA library version when available.
- Added SAGA Chunky screen support in copper list.
- Reverted Aga/sprites.s file to previous version due to a bug in Aga Sprites.
- Reverted Compiler_Shell.AMOS to Original fixed a compiler crash
- Fix AMOSProUnity_Support.Lib functions set fixed a compiler crash
- Fix AMOSProUnity_SpecialFX.Lib functions set fixed a compiler crash
- Now Amos Professional Unity examples can be compiled without crash
- Upgrade compiler to compile with AGAP Sprites/Bobs/Icons banks
- Fixed issue with Get Bob/Sprite/Icon palette to now handle fully RGB24 bits colors
- Update Header.s bank load to handle AGAP color mode ( 256 colors AGA ) from Bank that are inside executable (Bob/Sprite/Icon)
- update Header.s also fix Get Bob/Sprite/Icon Palette commands when program is compiled.
- Update CompExt.s compiler extension for squashed programs to handle AGAP color mode (Bob/Sprite/Icon)
We had first reported on Frédéric Cordier's submissions at the end of 2019, at that time still operating under the name "Amos Professional X". We took this publication as an opportunity to ask him for a summary of his efforts to date, which he kindly provided immediately:
"The Amos Professional Unity is a project I work on in my spare time, together with my other project for the Amiga called "Grimoire" (amiga-news.de reported).
Even though I don't often report about changes or news, I do a lot of work in the background (e.g. compiler problems), because the compiler source code is not documented and is a bit more complex than Amos Professional itself. A few key points about the project:
- Amos Professional Source code was completely reorganized to fit the requirements of AGA support upgrade times ago.
- Source code is available publicly on GitHub
- Many changes were done to achieve support for AGA Chipsets that makes Amos Professional Unity being not compatible with older Amos Professional extensions that uses internal Amos Professional structures (the structures evoled,for example to support 8 bitplanes max instead of previously 6, 256 colors instead of previously 32, etc.)
- Amos professional now have a good AGA support. It will be improved, but it is already interesting for AGA video game creation.
And these features are already supported by "Amos Professional Unity"
- Support lowres AGA graphics up to 256 colors and HAM8 using 24 bits colors support
- Support hires AGA graphics up to 256 colors and Ham8 using 24 bits colors support
- Interlaced is supported for the two above resolutions (lowres and hires)
- Bobs and icons also support up to 256 colors using 24 bits colors support
- Create/Load/Save Sprites/Bobs/Icons banks with AGA colors up to 256 colors is supported.
- AGA Sprites up to 64 pixels wide are also supported using 4 or 16 colors, and native Amos Professional sprites combination using 4 or 16 colors was improved to support AGA sprites width (you can setup a sprite up to 256 pixels wide with 16 colors using all 8 sprites for example).
- AGA Sprites are only low resolution sprites. Hires resolution is not yet added.
- Native commands like "Screen Open" are upgraded to support 256 Colors ( ex. Screen Open 0,320,200,256,lowres+laced )
- Native commands like "Colour" are upgraded to support 24 bits ( ex. Colour 1,Rgb24( 255,128, 0 ) )
- Amos Professional Unity compiled program can detect at running time if configuration run on ECS/OCS or AGA, and user can then create adaptative source code for video game ( The same compiled .exe can open ECS screen on ECS configuration and AGA screen on AGA configuration ).
"Amos Professional Unity" offers a range of new commands that were documented in the course of the releases of the first alpha version or second alpha version. Some commands are not yet documented because they are still in the development process:
- Create Rainbow Fx Bank BANK
- Set Rainbow Fx Color BANK, COLOR_INDEX
- Set Rainbow Fx Color Line BANK, YLINE, RGB24ColorValue
- Apply Rainbow Fx To Screen BANK : Apply to current screen
- Remove Rainbow Fx From Screen
- = Get Rainbow Fx Color Line( BANK, YLINE )
An other extension (Special FX) was also added to the project. It is a mix between my old AmosPro_Personal.lib and new commands. It bring some new commands to Amos Professional Unity (not documented on the website), and more will come in the future:
- Set Ntsc : Push to 60Hz mode
- Set Pal : Push to 50Hz mode
- = Right Click()
- = Fire( 1,BUTTONID ) : Where button ID can be 2 or 3
- Ehb : Can be used to open screen using 64 Half Brite colors (ECS)
- Ham6 : Can be used to open screen using Ham6 ( 4096 colors ) screens (ECS)
- Create Memblock BANK, SIZE_IN_BYTES : Create a memory block, this command set is inspired from Dark BASIC v1 & Professional )
- = Memblock Exist( BANK )
- = Get Memblock Size( BANK )
- Write Memblock Long BANK, POSITION_IN_BYTES, 32BITSVALE : Write a 32 Bits value at POSITION_IN_BYTES of the memblock BANK
- = Memblock Long( BANK, POSITION ) : Will return the 32 Bits value stored at POSITION in the memblock BANK
- Write Memblock WordBANK, POSITION_IN_BYTES, 16BITSVALE : Write a 16 Bits value at POSITION_IN_BYTES of the memblock BANK
- = Memblock Word( BANK, POSITION ) : Will return the 16 Bits value stored at POSITION in the memblock BANK
- Write Memblock ByteBANK, POSITION_IN_BYTES, 32BITSVALE : Write a 8 Bits value at POSITION_IN_BYTES of the memblock BANK
- = Memblock Byte( BANK, POSITION ) : Will return the 8 Bits value stored at POSITION in the memblock BANK
- Reserve F Icon BANK, SIZE : Create a custom icons bank, not blitter, CPU drawing one for fasts CPU and FastRam. Icon size is Width/Heigth same
Set Current F Icon Bank BANK : Allow to have multiple Fast Icons banks
- = Get Current F Icon Bank() : Will return the current bank used for Fast Icons
- Get F Icon ICON, X, Y : Grab an icon ICON from the current screen
- Paste Icon ICON, X, Y(, TRANSPARENCY ) : Will draw an icon at X,Y coordinates. X is multiple of 16 pixels.
- = Get Fie Size( FileName$ )
- Create Playfield from sprite HEIGHT, YSTART : Create a background playfield using sprites
- Remove Sprite Playfield : Remove the background playfield
There are some known issues and limitations. One known issue for example is that compiler must be improved to allow compilation of source code containing Sprites/Icons banks in it. Currently, banks must not be included in .AMOS when compiling.
Amos Professional Unity is provided with some examples that show the uses of AGA Chipset and the Special FX commands sets. This simply mean you can already create AGA video games using Amos Professional Unity and compiles them as executables." (dr)

Video: Emulator E-UAE for AmigaOS4
UAE (abbreviation for Unix Amiga Emulator or Ubiquitous Amiga Emulator) is a software emulator that can be used to run Amiga programs on various operating systems. For Windows, a special variant called WinUAE was developed on the basis of UAE. Based on WinUAE, E-UAE was developed to make its special functions usable on other operating systems. The version ported and available on AmigaOS 4 dates from 2015 (amiga-news.de reported).
Roman 'kas1e' Kargin has created an extensive video about E-UAE under AmigaOS 4, in which he describes the basics and the development. He also explains how the changes made to the source code since 2015 affect it by compiling a current version and showing this using the example of the emulation of AmigaOS 3.2.2.1. (dr)
