Workbench clock and calendar: ScreenTime v1.6 now available
ScreenTime, which has just been released in version 1.6, is a useful commodity for all Amigas from Kickstart 2.04 onwards. It displays the current time on the Workbench or any other PubScreen. ScreenTime opens a borderless window at the top of the screen by default, which blends seamlessly into the overall picture. The font and colors are automatically adjusted to match those of the screen. This can create the visual impression that the window is part of the Workbench title bar.
If necessary, these settings, including the display format, can also be customized manually. Various configuration options are available for this via tooltypes or shell arguments.
In addition, a calendar with monthly pages is available, which can be accessed by clicking on the clock or using a keyboard shortcut.
ScreenTime requires Kickstart 2.04 or later. The package includes several languages, including German, and full source code.
The new version 1.6 includes bug fixes and improvements, as well as an option for different types of borders for the calendar, including a borderless design. (nba)

Puzzle game: Demo version of Ami Robbo 2
Paweł 'tukinem' Tukatsch's latest project will be a contribution to AmiGameJam 2024: Ami Robbo 2 is the successor to Amirobbo by Polish game developers Bernard Krzymowski and Artur 'Szafir' Szafrański, which was released in 1992. With his permission and assistance, new graphics and levels were created for the second part. Robbo is a universal combat robot that has got into trouble and needs to be rescued from abandoned military bases with the player's help. (amiga-news.de reported).
The gameplay is based on the classic Sokoban but there are many other elements and a top-down view that Tukatsch invented. A demo version of the current status of the project has now been released (YouTube video). (dr)

MorphOS: Tenth beta version of TinyGL
The MorphOS team developer Mark 'Bigfoot' Olsen had offered a Bounty project for improved OpenGL support and drivers for additional Radeon graphics cards under the title link, which had been successfully financed (amiga-news.de reported). Now the developer has released the tenth public beta version of his TinyGL update.
The main focus here was the implementation of support for framebuffer objects. However, in the process, many other related and unrelated parts of TinyGL have also been improved, resulting in better OpenGL compliance and more implemented features. The R600 driver is not included in this release, but will be included in a future release once the developer has updated it to the current TinyGL requirements. (dr)

DIY: Firmware update for "GottaGoFaZt3r"
"GottaGoFaZt3r" developed by Matt Harlum is a memory expansion with 128MB or 256MB Z3 autoconfig FastRAM for the Amiga 3000 and 4000 (amiga-news.de reported). The recent firmware update fixes the compatibility with A4091: DTACK (Data Transfer Acknowledge) was initialised too early, resulting in the wrong data being read from the GottaGoFaZt3r during DMA (Direct Memory Access). If no A4091 is used, there is no need to update to this version. (dr)

Interview with Robert Koon (Amiga conversion of Dune II)
In another interview by Spillhistorie, Hans Arne Jacobsen spoke this time with Robert Koon, one of the developers involved in the Amiga conversion of Westwood's strategy classic Dune II. He is currently working on a new version, which should eliminate the limitations of the DOS original (amiga-news.de reported).
As the programmer explains among other things, he also intended to re-enter Amiga development with this undertaking - there would be several other projects that he wants to implement afterwards. (snx)
