We're back!
After a month of problems with the domain name, AmiBench.org is now online
again and can be reached under the usual URL with all functions. Because of the
change of the worldwide DNS servers it can possible take up to 72 until
AmiBench.org can be reached again from
everywhere. AmiBench regrets the chaos which arose from the problems.
AmiBench 2 is in the works, there will be many new interesting features.

AmigaMPEGPlayer and writepixel for AmigaSDK
Today, I have publishe the first MPEG video player for the AmigaSDK on my homepage. This player already runs
quite fast (160x120: 82 FPS, 325x288: 17 FPS on a PII-333),
despite of the for the moment still absolutely unoptimised FPU translator inside the SDK.
Sound is still missing, but this still is not supported by the current SDK, anyway.
Furthermore there there is an little VP-Assembler demo, that creates a realtime colour tone with transparency
effects. Both programs are to find at the download area, including source codes.
Who is not a developer and therefor has no SDK installed, can have a closer look at three high resolution
screenshots (incl. running AmigaSDK-Quake), at least.

Small Bug in both, DA III and Demo
DA III: The picture drawer will not get copyed, if wanted. The Tooltype for the picture path
is set correctly in any case. In this case please, copy the wanted drawer manual.
DA III Demo: Due to a little oversight some string input fields need the MUI-class Betterstring.mcc, which
was no provision originally. If the program would end up with a MUI error message, copy Betterstring.mcc to
MUI:Libs/MUI. This subclass is available on Aminet at dev/mui. A bug-fixed version for the demo will soon
be available on the homepage at the titlelink.

The First Moorhuhn was created on an Amiga
Hard to beleave, the first Moorhuhn was created on an Amiga:
«The team that started work soon and was put together due to disposability and skills by Ziemlinski,
consisted of five persons. Beside himself the in the szene well known 3D artist Ingo Mesche belonged to
the team. Ingo, father of the Moorhuhn alread had a digital poultry in the drawer of his desk, which
was only waiting to be shot at last. On would hardly beleave it, but this was waiting there since about
15 years. That time it was designed as a pixle figure with D-Paint/Amiga and the even got a little
walk-on, but never was published. So it lain around useless untill the Phenomendia AG needed a chicken.
»
Full article at the titlelink. (German)
Though I am against "shooter games" in general, I have to admit that I already made friend with
the Moorhuhn and would be happy about an Amiga port of it.
