`12.Aug.2024` Mastodon	Online chiptune and music module player: Pixeltune Back in 2014, Tomás Pollak, a journalist, developer and musician, released a first version of Pixeltune: a web-based player for chiptune and video game music that builds on a large collection of music that has been carefully archived over the years and indexed for quick and easy access. The sound is generated directly from the original files by emulating the sound chips that were actually used to render these files in the good old days. He started his project because he loves music and MIDI and nerdy chiptunes on the one hand, and because he's a big fan of the demo scene and tracker music on the other. They would all "bring fond memories from the early days of the Internet-- the era of guestbooks, webrings and beautifully ugly pages, when it was a crazy place filled with weird and cool stuff!" But also, there's a secondary goal and that is preservation. A big chunk of the music you'll find was hosted on websites that no longer exist. He wants to help preserve the history of sequenced music, and to honor all the incredibly talented composers whose creations still blow our minds decades later. Under the title link you can find more than 250 pieces of Amiga music. Playing tip: Xenex (xenextitle.mod)! (dr) [News message: 12.

`12.Aug.2024`	Puzzle game: AmiBrixx v2.3 for all Amiga systems Jörg 'Evil' Renkert has released version 2.3 of his puzzle game AmiBrixx. The player's task is to eliminate the stones stacked on the board by clicking on groups of the same colour. In doing so, the tiles above fall down and form new groups. The game ends when no more groups can be eliminated (amiga-news.de reported). The new version was released due to some server updates. Some minor bug fixes and speed improvements are also included. The author welcomes feedback and is open to suggestions and requests for improvement. (dr) [News message: 12. Aug. 2024, 19:14] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`11.Aug.2024` MorphZone (forum)	MorphOS: Continued GMail support by Iris questionable As Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek, author of the e-mail program Iris, reports in a forum post at title link, continued support for the American e-mail service GMail is questionable. Programs that are allowed to access this Google service are subject to certain requirements, including an annual security assessment. This external audit would cost the programmer an additional 500 US dollars every year. Although currently evaluating options he does not believe that it is worth paying this much money per year just to keep frictionless GMail access in the app. (snx) [News message: 11.
