Kick Off 2: World Cup 2005 in Germany
The 5th official Kick Off 2 World Cup is coming to Germany. It takes place
from November 12th to 13th, 2005, in Cologne. After England, Holland,
Greece and Italy had the honor of hosting before, it is Jörg "Panni"
Pansen and Sascha Weigelmann who organise this big event in 2005. They
expect guests from all over Europe and as the hosting country they
hope that a lot of fellow countrymen join them in the games, partying and
finally battle for the World Cup title.
The official forum to the WorldCup is at
. On this forum
there are - sometimes rather vivid ;) - discussions concerning the rules
and all kinds of Kick Off related topics.
Kick Off 2 is a computer based football game from the company Anco back
from the year 1990, which was mainly successful on the Commodore Amiga and
the Atari ST. The game is still fascinating today because of its rapid
gameplay and the unique way of steering, where it needs real skill to
control the ball. The fun while playing is enormous and even so many years
after the release there is a giant fanbase. (snx) (Translation: nba)

Feelin: Patch for beta version 050819
Olivier Laviale has released a patch for the recently published beta version 050819 of his object-oriented system Feelin (amiga-news.de reported).
The patch does fix the following bugs:
1. dos.library/DupLockFromFH() does not work with WinUAE virtual volumes (and maybe large disks). Because the function was used by FC_Document, Feelin was unable to read XML files, which result in an empty preference editor. This is fixed now.
2. "Prefs" has not been linked properly, resulting in a crash when the program ended. This is fixed now.
Furthermore, one person reported a dimension problem: the preference editor window was too big, ~1500 pixels. The author would like anyone to contact him who has experienced the same issue.

iPod Shuffle and Amiga: amiShuffle v0.6.0
Thomas Meigel wrote a simple program to use the iPod shuffle in
combination with AmigaOS. The program allows the connection of the
mp3-player using the USB-port and shows the shuffle inside the system
as an integrated USB flash stick with mp3-play-function.
After copying the mp3-files onto the iPod the user should start amiShuffle
to fill the database (iTunesSD) with the necessary information.

Commodity: Dragon imitates draggable screens (update)
Dragon from #AmigaZeux is a little program, wich imitates the function of Amiga's screendragging under CyberGraphX (Screenshot, Video).
With the left mousebutton the front screen can be pulled down and sideways to have a look at the screen behind. A click of the right mousebutton switches to this screen. Moreover a GUI offers certain options.
Download: Dragon.lha (62 KB)
Update: (12:01, 22.08.05, snx)
Meanwhile the version 1.1 is available under the same download link.
Besides a general code cleanup the old Mode-ID is reused and the BestModeID is skipped if the screen to be opened has the same depth as the minimum required depth.
Moreover the indication of the version in the OpenLibrary()-function call was corrected: Minimum required is V41 of the cybergraphics.library and not V42, as mistakenly mentioned. (snx) (Translation: ts)
