Magazine: AMIGAplus for October, 2002
The AMIGAplus for October 2002 with the title theme "Audio with PSA"
will be out in the middle of next week. For two reasons the release
date was postponed, and so a new appointment was made with the
publishing company.
Read about the following topics in the latest AMIGAplus:
Mega-Workshop ProStationAudio
"Audio with the Amiga rocks!" Take a calm walk with us in the world
of a professional Audio-Sequencer, ProStationAudio. Add chimes to
your life!
Thylacine - Tasmanian USB Controller
For many long years it wasn't possible to use a USB gizmo with
your Amiga. Now, within the space of a year come not one but
two new USB cards on the market. After we introduced E3B's
HIGHWAY in the May and July/August 2002 issues, and its little
sister SUBWAY for the clock port of the Amiga 1200 is still
awaited, we're making a little trip to Australia for you. That's
where the Zorro II card Thylacine has been available for a little
while.
Software Tycoon - Learn as the game progresses...
When the digital entertainment industry was still in the
shoes of a little child, the pioneers of game history could
give free rein to their innovative ideas.
After the version for the PC was released about a year ago, the
Amigans and Mac-heads [and MorphOSians -dm] can also dive
into the world of a Software Tycoon and virtually manage the
development of a game.
PC Competitor - Twice-Enjoyed Retro Game Fun
To throw away something valuable, to give something the old heave ho
without a good reason, now that's a pity. So how can the old competitions, zip sticks,
Pythons and Hyperstars be regenerated for employment in Amiga
emulators? The rescue comes from the joystick interface PC
Competitor!
And in addition to all that:
- Workshop PGP, Part 1
- FroggerNG 2 CD Tested
- A+ on Tour: photokina 2002
- What's New in Emulator Land
- How to Do Better on eBay, Part 2
- Floppy Classics on Hard-drive: WHDLoad
- Amiga-Status-Report 10/02: Voter Rights
- Demoscene: Summertime is... Partytime
- Show Report O.A.S.E. 2: News from Austria
- and a whole lot more
AMIGAplus is available by subscription, by single issue at
5 Euros per (inc. postage and handling) and in your local
Amiga shop.

with the titleGame Test: Speedball 2 - Return of the Classics

the Bitmap Brothers. This development team created Amiga games of an unforgotten
radiance. One of them, Speedball 2, was recently introduced in a version for Nintendo's
handheld Game Boy Advance.«

Amiga Society: Website Renovation in Progress
Horst Diebel writes:
»So, the rebuilding of the page is beginning now. Because a few areas of the page
didn't get many visitors, and I unfortunately don't have time to spruce them up,
they will be shut down. This step is overdue, and many people have called for it.
The "Bücher" section will stay in place as the core. "Schlachtfeld" will get its own domain
sooner or later and be distanced from the society. The other headings, whether they are little
matters from Micha or me, will also be closed. Many people thought we should do this and
we announced it long ago.
The only update really is in the Little Book of Amiga Software - a few games will be found
here, which absolutely must be taken up again.»

Soms3D Seeks New Partners
Soms has been on ice for a long time because there was a lot of programming to do. This made us really think about things. We decided
not to make a 2D adventure, but rather a realtime 3D online role playing game.
To do this we already have a 3D programmer and our first internal beta version. The capabilities of Soms3D will be made public at a later
date (assuming our new webpage is online). The adventurers will reach, more or less, a common solution. And naturally all that one may
do online must also be doable in an online game.
To reach our goals we still need a bit of help. We are looking for:
- A musician who can deliver his music in MOD or MIDI form.
- A programmer who knows his way around Online-Programming.
- Because Soms3D is based on PPC it would be better when partners have a PPC, especially when programming.
- Applications or Inquiries go to Sylvio K..

Game 'Armada' released on Aminet
Armada is a round-based game for two to five players. It is a version of a game formerly played with paper and colored pencils. To start off each player places his sea port on the map. As the game progresses players select their ships and attack opposing ships. It depends on the distance and a roll of the dice if the opposing ships are sunk.
Armada-Homepage is here, and here is the Aminet download link: Armada.lha. The author would like to hear some feedback about the game and its homepage.

AMHuhn: Programmers are overwhelmed :-)
Telemar Rosenberger, one of the developers of AMHuhn is totally overwhelmed by the positive response and submitted the following statement for release:
Hello AMIGA and AMHuhn friends,
we would like to thank you very much! We didn'd expected such a huge approval and friendly help.
Since the AMHuhn is at the net the incoming emails don't stop, there are so many mails from all over the world to respond, it's getting hard to do something else, there are positive criticisms, brief notes of thanks, suggestions for optimization or problems. Nothing negative yet :-)
Getting so much approval there is nothing left for us than continueing. I know there are problems with Picasso96 but I have to note that I can try cybergraphics only by myself. There are problems as well if the iff.library and the
picture.library are both not inside libs:.
Regarding the datatypes it is important to have the jpg and anim datatype installed, no matter if these are WOS, PPC or 68k.
With AHI sound the following is important:
At the AHIprefs you should choose 3 to 4 channels for the music unit at the mode. With a 68040 is AHI 4.18 the best, it seems to be the fastest.
Have fun and I hope that most people have no problems with running the Huhn.
With the best regards
Telemar Rosenberger
