Game Construction Kit: Scorpion Engine V2022.5
The "Scorpion Engine" developed by Erik 'earok' Hogan allows you to develop games. The engine itself is closed source, all demos and example games are open source. The editor runs under Windows. Graphics are imported as PNG files, levels created by using the editor Tiled eingesetzt. For importing and creating sounds, music and animations the Amiga formats (mod, 8svx, anim5) are used.

A few moments ago he has relesaed version 2022.5. Among others it includes expanded control of sound tones, a new parallax demo, editor improvements for easier development, the ability to swap level backgrounds on the fly, bug fixes and more.

You can support the developer on his Patreon website. (dr)

Apollo Space Invaders: Eighth developer version of the remake
Arne von Boehn is writing a Space Invaders remake in 68K assembler on a Vampire4 standalone (amiga-news.de reported). Besides a new preview video there is also a new developer version for testing.


As Gunnar explains, the game is playable, but not yet finished. Arne has now added the 2-player mode, which still needs to be refined. Likewise, work continues on the UFOs: if they were hit, extras will be dropped in the future, such as alien freeze, extra life, quick shot, quick reload, repair bunker, shield, etc. All graphics are made by Kevin Saunders. In addition, the bunker damage will be improved and drawn in more detail, as well as the sound effects refined.

The game uses true colors and runs at 60 frames per second. The Super-AGA chipset and the AMMX instruction set are required. In the end, the game should run on both the Vampire V2 and V4.

Download: ARNEINVADER8.exe (52 MB) (dr)

Devil's Temple features 10 stages of intense arcade kung fu action based on the classic Irem games Kung Fu Master and Vigilante.

The game will adapt to upgrades, so additional chip ram will result in better music, AGA will provide additional colors and a greater variety of enemies in the game.

Yesterday, a new preview video was released for the game in development, allowing a brief look at each of the bonus levels in Devil's Temple. These are obtained after defeating the level 3, 6 and 9 bosses and are meant to break up the action a bit.

The game is already available for pre-order as a boxed edition. Likewise, a demo version of the first stage is available on itch.io. (dr)

Blog review: Sound card Maestro Professional
The blog 'shred.zone' presents in a detailed article the internal sound card Maestro Professional, which was distributed by the German company MacroSystem in the early 1990s. Besides the presentation of the design, the development of a corresponding driver maestix.library is also highlighted, since MacroSystem itself never released the required Amiga software. (dr)

MorphOS: MouseTracker 1.3
The team of #amigazeux has released version 1.3 of its commodity MouseTracker, which records mouse movements and clicks and can display them as realtime overlay. Changes:
  • Image format for saving can now be selected and isn't limited to PNG only anymore. Formats supported through Reggae are: PNG, JPEG, TIFF, ILBM, DEEP.
  • Added '%x' as placeholder for save filenames for track and heatmaps that is replaced by the approriate suffix for the set image format.
  • When an overlay track/heatmap is shown it will now also mix the map with the screen on non-composited screens. Live-updates for trackmaps on non-composited screens are not done for now.
  • On non-composited screens the prgress window was 'burned' into the track/heatmap. Fixed.
  • Reduced the amount of tracker nodes created by a factor of ~3 by optimising away unnececarry waypoints.
  • Added a small close button in the left top corner when showing Track- and/or HeatMap overlays.
  • The config file is now saved as a sequence of template strings instead of saving one binary blob. The old config is loaded once and converted to the new config automatically. The old config is not deleted by MouseTracker itself in case you have to revert to an older version of MT. If you want to manually delete it: 'env:MouseTrackerCX/default.cfg' and the same in envarc:
  • "Strength" header in mouse tracker prefs also acts as a button now to advance all cycle gadgets at once.
  • The "Track" header of the track column in mouse tracker prefs is a button now and can be used to toggle respective checkmarks.
  • When an overlay is shown the window opacity can now be adjusted by pressing CTRL and moving the mouse wheel.
  • Fixed mouse distance calculation which was severly broken. My head still hurts...
  • Also tracks the fourth mouse button now.
  • Now also visually tracks mouse-wheel up and down events.
  • Prefs handling was completely jumbled up internally. Fixed.
  • Added NOSCREENBAROBJECT=NOSBAR/S option to have no screenbar object created at all. Works from tooltypes and/or shell.
  • Will add its own screenbar object to the screen titlebar when started. The screenbar object offers a popup menu with a couple of options (map creation, go to prefs, go to stats) to chose from. Furthermore the screenbar object displays the mouse position on the screen using a sizeable dot. Check out its config options in the pubscreen manager (right click on screen depth button).
  • Fixed a memory leak when parsing tooltypes.
  • Added PREFS=GUI/S option to open the GUI of MouseTracker directly when started. Works from tooltypes aswell as from shell.
  • It is now possible to select the screen to generate an overlay or image for from the prefs.
  • Stats for individual screens are tracked now and can be selected in the 'Stats' tab for display.
  • Long term statistics can be reset now too. It has a saverty requester aswell.
  • Added a savety requester to the 'Reset Statistics' button.
  • Prefs/statistics GUI got some cosmetic changes.
  • Heatmap creation for low screen sizes did not work. Fixed.
  • Sped up final HeatMap generation by about 300%.
  • Sped up drawing of TrackMap and HeatMap by more than 1000%.
  • Added MagicBeacon notification support when a a Track- or HeatMap has been saved. Left clicking the notification will open the drawer the map has been saved to while right clicking it will open the image itself in an Ambient window.
  • Statistics now always opens in a virtual group allowing the window to be sized smaller.
  • When mouse pointer reenters a screen and the trackmap live update is shown, it won't draw a line from the last position the mouse pointer left the screen from to the new position the mouse pointer reentered the screen.
  • Added short description texts to all progress windows.
  • Removed all spaces in texts displaying percentages.

Video: AMOS-controlled Quiz Buzzer System
In his latest video series, Robert Smith shows how to build an AMOS-controlled quiz buzzer system based on an Arduino board:
  • Part 1 shows how to build a cable version of the simple quiz buzzer system that includes different sound effects for each key pressed.
  • Part 2 shows how to build a wireless variant using nRF24L01 modules and Arduinos.
  • Part 3 updates the wireless variant so that the controller can be connected to an Amiga and a simple quiz system can be run with AMOS. The AMOS quiz system communicates with the controller via the serial port and uses some form of interrupts ("every") to maintain communication.

Hardware: ZuluSCSI - SCSI to SD adapter
ZuluSCSI is a new generation of file-based SCSI hard disk and CD-ROM drive emulators. ZuluSCSI emulates a SCSI-I or SCSI-2 hard disk using an SD memory card. Hard disk and CD-ROM drive images are stored on a standard FAT32 or exFAT formatted SD card. It merges SCSI2SD V5, V6 and BlueSCSI into one adapter.

This adapter allows to use SD or microSD card media instead of a real SCSI device. Compatible with a vast variety of SCSI controllers. Including the Amiga motherboard controllers, 3rd party controllers as the A590 or the Blizzard/Cyberstorm SCSI controllers. Hard drive and CD-ROM drive images are stored on a standard FAT32 or exFAT-formatted SD card.

A corresponding manual is available on GitHub, a list of compatible devices on codescr.

The adapter is available for example in the Amiga Shop or AMIGAstore.eu for about 100 Euros including taxes. (dr)

Video interview with DeepMind founder: First AI program on Amiga
At the title link, a video interview was conducted with Demis Hassabis, the co-founder and CEO of the AI company DeepMind, which was later bought by Google.

After his start with a ZX Spectrum, he had, unlike his "merely" Atari-using friends, an Amiga, which he programmed in assembler and AMOS and on which he wrote his first AI program at the age of about twelve, an implementation of the game Reversi, in which he applied principles of chess computer programming.

Also mentioned is his later involvement in the Bullfrog game "Theme Park", to which economic simulation he contributed the behaviour of up to 2000 simulated figures of the theme park at the age of 16. He had programmed these as individual so-called "state machines", which independently satisfy their needs. (snx)

Devil's Temple features 10 stages of intense arcade kung fu action based on the classic Irem games Kung Fu Master and Vigilante. Over 300 frames of animation were packed into the game and every cycle of performance was used on the Amiga A500. The game will adapt to upgrades, so additional chip ram will result in better music, AGA will provide additional colors and a greater variety of enemies in the game.

Yesterday, a new preview video was released for the game that is currently in development. As the developer writes, he had assumed to release Devil's Temple in May or June, but he just didn't have the necessary time to finish the game. The current progress is shown in the latest video:
  • The game now has a hiscore system
  • The game now has an attract mode
  • The game has a menu system included allowing the player to modify game settings
  • The background video music is now all included
Only three elements of the game are still missing: the final boss, the coding of the final sequence and the optimization of the code.

The game is already available for pre-order as a boxed edition. Likewise, a demo version of the first stage is available on itch.io. (dr)
