Datatypes: akJFIF/PNG/TIFF Update Version 45.7
Due to a screwed test setup, a buggy akJFIF 45.6 version went to Aminet.
As a result, 45.7 of all three datatypes now is available for download on
my website (www.ar-kleinert.de) This is because Aminet has a 10 day
upload delay for updates - and additionally I might not be able to do any
uploads the first week of November.
Download:
akJFIF-dt.lha (Aminet Bugfix)
akPNG-dt.lha

MPEG: SMPEG V0.4.4 - MPEG-1 player library for SDL
An Amiga version of the MPEG-1 player library 'SMPEG' with sound support has
been released, including a simple player program.
Video playback is based on the Berkeley MPEG player 'mpeg_play v2.2'. Sound
output is by way of a slightly modified version of the 'mpegsound-Library' of
Splay V0.8.2.
SMPEG thus supports MPEG audio (MP3), MPEG-1 video and MPEG system streams.
The library is subject to the GNU Library Public License (LGPL) Version 2 and
has been compiled with -m68020-60.
With 'plaympeg', a simple video player for testing the library is included (also required is the SDL library: CGX, AHI, etc.).
The C library interfaces are 'documented' in the file 'smpeg.h' and the MPEG*.h
files.
Download: smpeg-0.4.4.lha (696K)

Geek Gadgets: Status after breakdown on 10th October 2002
On 10th October 2002, the Geek Gadgets project's hardware (gcc,
ixemul.library...) broke down. This affected the power supply as well as two
hard disks, one with the current system backup and another with the complete
system backup (about a year old).
Currently, only the mailing lists are active. Due to the low activities in the
lists, these have been reduced to 'gg-announce' and 'gg'.
The 'gg' list currently has a discussion about the status and the future of
Geek Gadgets.

Amiga Flame: 6th anniversary, Go For Goal, Space-Flight simulation
The Amiga online games magazine 'Amiga Flame' celebrates its 6th anniversary,
reports about an ice hockey game for AmigaDE with 'Go For Goal', and about a
Spaceflight simulation which is in the first development stage.
On 12th October 1996, Philip Cosby went online with Amiga Flame,
so the online magazine is celebrating its 6th anniversary. Philip Cosby is
glancing back to this origin in an article,
describes the current situation and the reason why he started Amiga Flame: "It
was as though Amiga users were in a dark room and could see no future, only
darkness. I had to light up that room and show them that there are many amazing
and exciting games in development."
With Go For Goal,
an ice hockey game for AmigaDE is in development. It is inspired by the C-64
game 'Hattrick'. In 'Go For Goal' you control one field player and the goal
keeper - the computer acts as opponent.
This game is being developed a.o. by Gabriel Hauber,
who is also involved in the Java AmigaDE classes 'Jami'.
The target platform is currently PDAs with a resolution of 240x320 pixels. At a
later stage, this will be customizable, so screen sizes from mobile phones up
to desktop computers will be supported.
For more information about the game you can mail Gabriel Hauber
(gabrielh@gabrielhauber.com).
Amiga Flame has found out,
that a new developer team is planning to develop a spaceflight simulation.
According to team member Johan Dams, the game will be along the lines of
Elite/Frontier. One of the ideas is that the game should be playable over the
Internet.
The developers are aware of this project's scope and are looking for talented
gfx artists and programmers to push the project forward. Interested
people should mail Johan Dams (amiga@sin.khk.be).
