`22.Mar.2022` Artur Jarosik (Patreon)	Real-time strategy: Vanilla Conquer V0.95 Artur Jarosik is known for various game ports like the platformer Hydra Castle Labyrinth or the action adventure Heart of Darkness besides his SDL implementation of the browser NetSurf. As a contribution for the AmiGameJam he started to port the first part of the realtime strategy series Command & Conquer to the Amiga and named it "Vanilla Conquer" (amiga-news.de reported). Today he has released version 0.95 with the following changes: Fixed flying vehicles Fixed rockets, turrets and other bullets Fixed music playback bug Fixed: If we played Commando, after saving, he was a normal soldier Disabled debug The game is primarily intended for Amigas upgraded with an Apollo accelerator board, especially the V4 series. However, as the author explained to us, it could be playable on a 68060 processor with a graphics card with the music and sound effects turned off. However, the version now available should play the sound correctly on Amigas without V4 accelerator cards. If you want to support the author, you can do so on his Patreon page.

`22.Mar.2022`	8/16-bit emulator for Mac OS and Linux: Clock Signal V2022-03-13 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. The update V2022-03-13, released a few days ago, corrects an issue with Copper WAITs that caused a reasonable proportion of PAL Amiga titles to display incorrectly at the bottom of the screen. Furthermore, the update adds support for Amiga fast RAM, and allows user selection of the quantity of chip RAM. (dr) [News message: 22.

`21.Mar.2022`	MorphOS: Screensaver ModernArt Blanker 3.3 ModernArt Blanker is a screensaver that, according to the author, "draws psychedelic shapes like circles, triangles, squares and stars all over the screen producing multicoloured pieces of random modern art". Since our last news about version 3.0, some bugs have been fixed and numerous changes have been made. Among other things, it is now possible to adjust the movement speed, change the palette between monochrome, summer, autumn, winter, spring and night or a random selection of them. Furthermore, there is now a real installation script. (dr) [News message: 21. Mar. 2022, 06:22] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
