`02.Nov.2023`	Tool: SpriteSplitter V0.4 The basic idea of a spritesheet is to pack a series of images together into a single image. Dan 'zooperdan' Thoresen's "SpriteSplitter" reverses this: it is a simple tool for splitting a spritesheet image into separate images that can be used in the Scorpion Engine. This allows the user to save time when updating spritesheets by automating this process.< In version 0.4 a -file parameter was added which let you specify a text file which contains a list of command operations. This is much faster than calling SpriteSplitter multiple times. (dr) [News message: 02. Nov. 2023, 06:15] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`31.Oct.2023`	Game Construction Kit: RedPill 0.9.27 RedPill, developed by Carlos Peris, is a game construction kit written in Amiblitz 3.98, which allows the development of games from various genres (see short tests of two Redpill games). RedPill is compatible with AGA and ECS, the "player" for playing the finished creations requires a total of 1.5 MB RAM. Jens 'Farbfinsternis' Henschel has written a tutorial. The new version 0.9.27 now has extensive documentation in both AmigaGuide and HTML format. Likewise, some corrections and optimisations have been made. The changes: Remap action trigger added to modify certain frames of the animation. Added a level string for each level, right now it is only like a comment for levels. When creating the WHDLoad package now you are asked about the slave to use. Multiple fixes when changing from level to level in the editor, palette and copper. Now you can set the minimum amount of Chip or Fast memory for your game. Optimization for loading levels, also reducing the possible glitches when changing level. Optimization in scroll routines. Changed ptplayer routine to the E-Penguin one. Added option to remove cross in the animation menu. Pressing fire during text printing speed up the printing. Mouse button can be used to close dialogs. Fix for dialogs when no scroll is used. Fix in use of gradient image for copper background. Fix in Answer Question trigger. Fix when merging image palette and sprite palette. Fix in instantiate attached trigger not getting the right side. Fix in the editor when changing to static no non static. Fix in turn back not being triggered. Fix for QR code in the main screen to find online documentation. (dr) [News message: 31. Oct. 2023, 07:10] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`29.Oct.2023`	8-/16-bit emulator for Mac OS and Linux: Clock Signal v2023-10-29 Thomas Harte's Clock Signal is an emulator for various 8- and 16-bit platforms aiming to be invisible to the user. The idea is to simply start the source medium without configuring the emulator oneself. Clock Signal is available for Mac OS and Unix-compatible systems. While there is also an Amiga emulation included, it "remains wilfully inaccurate" for now. Today, version v2023-10-29 was released. Changes: includes fixes to the sequence of addresses accessed by the Apple II for video generation, correcting broken instances of vapour lock; includes further build-system fixes that reintroduce support for macOS 10.13; and corrects address generation logic for the undocumented 6502 instructions SHS, SHX, SHY and SHA.
