`19.Aug.2022`	Music Tracker: MilkyTracker V1.03.01 MilkyTracker is an open source, cross-platform music application for creating .MOD and .XM module files. It attempts to recreate the module replay and user experience of the DOS application Fasttracker II, with special playback modes available for improved Amiga ProTracker 2.x/3.x compatibility. Marlon Beijer is in the process of porting the tracker to the Amiga platforms (OS3.x, OS4.x, WarpOS, MorphOS, AROS) and adding new features. In the new version now available for AmigaOS 3 first, the "Vamped Edition" has been included. The features included herein had been added by Neoman from the Titan demo group and are: Native Amiga support, but still needs RTG (we support P96 and CGX) Native 4-channel 8-bit output support on Paula/Commodore Native 8-channel 16-bit output on Arne (Apollo-Core) (16 channels are planned with a future core) 16-bit PiP display on SAGA (Apollo-Core) GadTools based setup dialog to choose the resolution and audio settings Titan's Magic Toolbox MilkyPlay based console player This means that SDL is no longer needed in the AmigaOS 3 version. The following is planned for the future: AmigaOS 3 Native AHI-driver for software mixing (this part was handled by SDL before) AGA 8-bit display via C2P OCS/ECS display (not decided enirely on route taken here yet) ASM optimization of drawing routines and primitives MIDI In/Out AmigaOS 4, MorphOS The features we deem useful for PPC too will trickle down from M68K SDL-1.2 support removed, and both MorphOS and AmigaOS 4.x will utilize SDL-2.0 instead Fix these targets since they broke somewhere along the way Allgemein MUI based replacement UI for a more native look and feel (probably performance improvements as well) (optional) MUI based music player, taking advantage of the music replayer of MilkyTracker (dr) [News message: 19.

`18.Aug.2022`	AmigaOS 4: C runtime library clib2 v1.0.0 beta 6 Andrea 'afxgroup' Palmate has created a fork of the official clib2 library, included in adtools. This library is exclusively for AmigaOS 4 to make it easy to maintain and to be able to add all the missing clib2 functions that are hard to add on 68k Amigas. The goal is to make it POSIX compliant and also fix any C++ problems that exist with newer compilers (amiga-news.de reported). Yesterday he has released the sixth beta version with the following changes: Added scandir to dirent Fixed with some hacks termios functions and now ncurses works correctly Fixed a problem on CTRL-C that was not stopping the program anymore Some small internal changes (dr) [News message: 18.

`16.Aug.2022`	Preview video 28: Souverän Soccer Daniel 'Daytona675x' Müßener (Wings Remastered, MiniGL4GL4ES, Tower 57) is working on a soccer game with 3D view called "Souverän Soccer" (amiga-news.de reported). About his 28th preview video, the developer writes: "This time you can see how the current CPU player plays against himself :) By the way, for the video the CPU player was artificially dumbed down, especially he shoots quite often much too firm. Without this little hack, the video would be a bit too boring, because the CPU player practically never provokes a throw-in or a corner by himself at the moment :P The AI is already sufficient (there is still room for improvement, of course) to take care of the control of the team members that are not being controlled by the player himself in a human vs human match. Most importantly, the AI is also fast enough: we're still at 50 fps even in CPU vs CPU on a bare Amiga 1200. Besides many details (e.g. the ball is now animated quite nicely) and many internal improvements, there is now also a neat free kick and throw-in system, which is based on Goal!: by means of a dotted line you can parameterize the direction, strength, height of the shot / throw..."
