Firefox-Port: Status-Update for Timberwolf
Thomas Frieden has published a new status update for the Firefox port "Timberwolf". He wrote:
"I haven't posted a progress report for a few weeks. This is not because there was nothing new, but the news are mostly "boring": Fixing bugs, implementing some missing features and so on.
One feature worth mentioning is that Timberwolf will now adapt to the color scheme of your workbench. That means it will use the GUI prefs colors for it's user interface drawing and this will be a big step towards making it feel more like an Amiga application.
Stay tuned for more news in the coming days."

MorphOS: 3D-Shooter "Cube 2: Sauerbraten"
Guillaume "Yomgui" Roguez has ported the 3D-Shooter Cube 2: Sauerbraten to MorphOS. The PowerSDL 14 as well as the original files of the game are required which are available on the official website.
In order to start the game in a window on a Ambient screen you have to put in the options "-t -w640 -h480" (for a 640x480 window) at the start. The author is looking for an older version of PowerSDL because v14 has some stability problems. Additionally the server was not tested and the client has still some bugs. Currently the most stable client is the RPG-client.
