`24.Feb.2023` Commodore News	Paint program: Multipaint 2023 for Windows/Linux/Mac Multipaint is designed to be able to draw pictures with the colour limitations of some typical 8-bit and 16-bit computer platforms. In the now released version 2023, the Amiga mode is now also an official part of the painting programme (see also the corresponding blog entry on this): n Amiga screen with variable size and 2-32 colours, adjustable palette with 16 levels each for red, green and blue. Multipaint can only handle larger bitmaps to a limited extent, so it is recommended to limit the size to the usual resolutions, e.g. 320 x 200 or 320 x 256. There is an export for IFF files that can be loaded e.g. in Deluxe Paint, but currently no IFF import. (dr) [News message: 24.

`22.Feb.2023` Patreon (Webseite)	Game Construction Kit: Scorpion Engine V2023.0 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 2023.0 (YouTube video). Changes: Major performance optimisations make this by far the fastest release of the Scorpion Engine to date. New features like "maskless blit" and draw clipping, and the new "Big Ship" demo shows how these can be used to render massive actors with relatively minimal performance overhead. New "line of sight" demo shows how an enemy can be made to chase the player only if there's no walls between them. Filters in the editor allow you to quickly search through long lists of actors, animation, code and blocks. Powerful new randomizer based on the XORSHIFT* algorithm. Improvement for the "foreach" command, actors can be filtered by more than just the type of actor. Channels can now be reserved specifically for music or SFX. Various other fixes and improvements. You can support the developer on his Patreon website. (dr) [News message: 22. Feb. 2023, 06:30] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
