Emulator: vAmigaWeb v2.1 beta5
vAmigaWeb is an Amiga emulator for the web browser or a Progressive Web App (PWA) based on the Amiga emulator for MacOS vAmiga.

In the current version the developer 'mithrendal' has integrated the latest vAmigaCore2.1b5. Likewise, it is now possible to load the old Snapshots game saves with a new vAmigaCore version. This has been solved by the fact that vAmigaWeb can now hold several versions of the vAmigaCore in parallel. Via the settings you can now reactivate vAmigaCore versions already installed in the past and continue playing the saved games. Detailed changes:
  • supports parallel installation of different versions of vAmigaCore; from now on old snapshots can be run by switching back to an older installed version of vAmigaCore
  • updated to latest vAmigaCore version v2.1.beta5
  • supports ECS denise (SuperHires modes)
  • improved memory managment ... support for hdfs with a size of 256Mb (e.g. classic_wb project)
  • introduced df0/dh0 eject buttons
  • fixed a severe bug where vAmigaWeb stopped accepting any adf or hdf file

Sprite/Icon/Map editor: Raster Master V1.2 R61 for Windows 10/11
Raster Master is a sprite/icon/map editor for Windows 10/11 which generates RayLib-, PutImagedata and Map code for gcc, AmigaBASIC, Amiga C, Amiga Pascal, QuickBasic, QB64, Quick C, Turbo Pascal, freepascal, Turbo C, Turbo Basic, Power Basic, FreeBASIC, GWBASIC, BASICA, and PC-BASIC (YouTube video).

Since our last news item, the author has focused on the Amiga, especially in the version 1.2 R61 released today, and among other things added Deluxe Paint ILBM/IFF format as well as support for Amiga QuickBasic (AQB). Detailed changelog:

R61
  • new Deluxe Paint ILBM/IFF format
  • new Amiga QuickBasic (AQB) support - right click over thumbnail view to select export options. use RES Text Export
  • fixed some issues with select tool - will not allow you to select out of work area bounds now!
  • fixed QuickPascal bug not outputting correct palette array constant
  • Added Overwrite file prompt - it would overwrite files without telling you they exist
  • Added prompt when selecting exit/close button - just in case you clicked on by accident
  • RES Text Include drop down list allows you to select various extensions (c,bas,h,pas,inc,bi)
  • grenade constants for Amiga formats c/basic/pascal
R60
  • R60 brings QB64/Freebasic RGB/RGBA formats - with auto loading into _NewImage/CreateImage variables
  • some bug fixes - I think i was generating basic labels for all the languages instead of just basic in RES Text Export - fixed!
  • Created QB64 as separate option now. Use this to use the RGB/RGBA formats, use QBasic\QuickBasic to use PUT for legacy screen modes (CGA/EGA/VGA)
  • Freebasic also has 2 options now. Freebasic QB mode - use this when in QB compatibility mode. Use Freebasic for RGB\RGBA modes
  • -Map Editor export options has QB64 and Freebasic as options now. This was done because Freebasic needs variables defined prior to use and no period "." in variable names when not in QB mode. So both modes of Freebasic use under scores to sperate fields. eg. Imagename_Width = 16
R59
  • Fixed Clip Scroll Issue when top left of work area is clipped and scrolled right
  • QB64/Freebasic export of RGBA now properly displays ImageName.Size variable, also added labels for images
  • QB64 users see example on how to load RGBA/RGB for _putimage using the the RayLib RGBA/RGB export options (you do not need RayLib for this)
  • Sprite import now allows JPG/BMP and ICO files. These are already part of Lazarus runtime anyway (zero cost feature)

Farming simulation: Fourth beta version of Farmiga released (update)
The Polish developer 'Tukinem' is writing a farming simulation in AMOS, called 'Farmiga' (amiga-news.de reported). A few moments ago, the fourth beta version (06.08.2022) was released. Changes:
  • A farmer has been added to the game who needs to be provided with food and drink. His age and state of contentment are shown in the picture.
  • The aim of the game is for the farmer to survive four ages (young, middle-aged, old and grandfather). Then he retires. If the farmer's health declines, his sad face is shown on the photo, and if his health declines completely, the game is lost.
  • Additional cultivation of coffee and tea, which can be sold or drunk by the farmer. Coffee or tea with sugar quenches much of the peasants' thirst.
  • New mill and cooking sounds.
  • Full game time of 8 tax periods.
Hardware requirements: 1,5MB ChipRAM bzw. 1MB Chip + 0,5MB FastRAM.

Update: (12:04, 08.08.22, dr)

The developer uploaded a new adf file today, which now actually contains the sounds of the mill and the cooker. (dr)

MorphOS: TinyGL update V2202-08-05
MorphOS team developer Mark 'Bigfoot' Olsen has offered a Bounty project for improved OpenGL support as well as drivers for more Radeon graphics cards under the title link which has been successfully financed (amiga-news.de reported). Now he has released a first update of TinyGL which provides the following changes:
  • Support for OpenGL "ARB" programs.
  • Support for cube maps (R200 only for now. R300/R400/R500 will have cube map support added in the next update).
  • Work has been done towards making TinyGL OpenGL 2.1 compliant.
  • A much improved SDK, making it easier for developers to create and port OpenGL applications on MorphOS.
  • Many bugs in both TinyGL and the drivers have been fixed.
You can find a more detailed description of the changes in the Readme file of the archive. (dr)
