`16.May.2025`	Preview video: Arcade game "Gemdalus" RETREAM is about to create "Gemdalus" (video), an arcade game in which the player has to collect all the gems scattered around the labyrinths. Inspired by Snake, the player leaves behind a kind of band of light when collecting gems, which he himself is not allowed to break through. However, like a stretched rubber band, it is possible to snap back. (dr) [News message: 16. May. 2025, 22:00] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`16.May.2025`	Managing ADF files: adflib V0.10.2 for Windows, Linux and macOS Laurent Clevy first released adflib in 1999 in version 0.7.8 (Aminet). The portable C library, written mainly in C, is used to manage Amiga-formatted devices such as hard disks and ZIP disks or to swap them out via the .ADF format (amiga-news.de reported). The library is currently being developed under the responsibility of Tomasz Wolak. Changes in version 0.10.2: unadf: fix extracting tree for read-only directories It is also pointed out with regard to the Windows binaries that these apparently had unexpected dependencies on debug versions of the Visual Studio runtime DLLs, which are missing on normal Windows (without Visual Studio installed). The current version should be free of this problem, but could not be tested in advance. If anyone has the possibility to verify this, please report it in the corresponding issue of the GitHub repository. (dr) [News message: 16.

`14.May.2025` MorphZone (Forum)	MorphOS: CellBasics announced (update) MorphOS developer Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek announces his "CellBasics" program in the MorphZone with just one screenshot. The screenshot shows the entry of addresses as in a simple database, but the name and the appearance are more reminiscent of a spreadsheet. Apparently, rows and columns can already be inserted or deleted at the current stage of development, and CSV is used as the storage format. Update: (16:55, 14.05.25, snx) As Jacek Piszczek has since explained, the standard Excel syntax has already been implemented, but the common functions still need to be programmed. Standard mathematical operations or referencing other cells or cell ranges do already work, though. CellBasics is an almost completely self-written program, only the formula parser and the routines for loading xlsx files would be ports of open source libraries. (snx) [News message: 14.
