AROS


AROS News
No news about the comercialisation of AROS, which is being discussed recently. Many ideas have been talked about and evaluated, but as always when money is part of the equation, things move slowly. Independantly the development of AROS is continuing as usual.

There are still two well-payed jobs open!

Right now we are using DOpus 4, which was gratuitiously provided by GP Software, to find and fix bugs in AROS. (Translation: mb)

SHARKS! CD32 edition almost finished!
For some time now I am working on a CD32 version of my game "SHARKS!". It's getting closer: "SHARKS! CD32-Edition" will be finished in reoughly two weeks!

The CD version will offer many options to customize the game to your AMIGA. Among others, a CD sountrack will be included as well as two other games by myself. This CD is not only suited for the CD32, but can also be started with a "normal" AMIGA (OS2.04, 2 MB RAM & CD-ROM). More details are available on my homepage, in the "Projekte" area.

New Lightforce version released
As I promised, the new Menu system has been "finished" on Sunday. There aren't that much functions yet aside from Start and End, but you can get a first impression of how it will look like. The archive is available at the Lightforce site as lha archive in three versions: full archive, program files only, graphic files only.

A word on the (bad) graphics: I urgently need an artist taking over this part. Everybody is free to modify the graphics files (png format) and send in his version. I will provide these versions as archives on the Lightforce download site. (Translation: mb)

AMIGA plans to use Sun's Java technology for new products

Amiga Announces Plans to Embrace Sun's Java Technology as the software platform for forthcoming New Amiga products

Amiga is the home of a large number of the world's leading edge multimedia developers, artists and users.

Historically, the Amiga platform has targeted providing the most compelling multimedia content to desktop systems, the new Amiga platform will continue that tradition on desktops and address connected, multimedia digital appliances such as webphones, digital TVs, and WebTablets. Now the world's most creative multimedia engineers can leverage the Java platform to target a vast array of new products and solutions.

The underlying technology used in the Amiga system is a Sun Java branded version of PersonalJava developed by the Tao Group. Tao's software is a media-rich environment that was designed from the ground up to run on a wide range of low cost, processor and memory constrained consumer devices that offer a wide range of multimedia capabilities.

Within Amiga's new target markets, several key standards groups are adopting Java technology; HAVi, OSGi and DVB are three examples. Amiga is adopting the popular Java platform for developers creating new generation content and applications that could also be used on industry standard devices such as in home networking and digital television. The millions of Java technology developers will be able to deploy their innovative content on a wide range of new products that will excite consumers.

"We are excited to see a longtime favorite of the multimedia developer community turn to Java technology as their programming platform of choice. The deeply loyal Amiga developer community will be able to leverage the wealth of Java development tools and support to build new, highly innovative and fun applications. We are also pleased that Amiga will work with the Tao Group, a company dedicated to compatible implementations with media rich capabilities," said Curtis Sasaki, Director of Product Marketing, Consumer Technologies, Sun Microsystems, Inc.

"The New Amiga is a breath of fresh air for the industry, and has a talent pool of developers who continue to lead the way in the creation of dynamic software products," commented Bill McEwen, President and CEO, Amiga. "Sun and the Java platform provide us with great tools, a large number of potentially new developers, and a well supported platform, and experience in emerging markets. The Tao intent implementation is unique in being able to provide the key system requirements needed to run the Java platform in mobile and consumer products."

Francis Charig, Chairman of Tao Group says, "Combining the world's most advanced community of multimedia artists and engineers with the new industry standard software [Java] is the next natural step forward. It is wholly appropriate that Sun, Tao and Amiga work closely together and the result shall be a wealth of Java technology-based media content for the consumer and other markets."

Virtual Dimension status report
After months finally an update. First of all: Many thanks for the incredibly positive feedback regarding our fair video. As it was such a success, we will of course make videos again in future - just stop by ever now and then.

After so many months you will certainly ask what's up with Cybermove, our Sokoban clone with extras, several music tracks, etc. Have a look at the picture here! :-) In plain language: we had a little harddisk crash and lost all source codes of the last half year (Backup - how do you spell that?). The Cybermove project thus is frozen for the time being, but we already work on something new. What that is? That'll be revealed sometime soon... ;-) (Translation: mb)

Oh yes, we are happy :-) If you want, you can rate amiga-news.de. We are very keen to see the results. In the right hand menu, we placed a little banner with link, so our readers can rate us at a later time. (ps)

Added afterwards:

Interesting, interesting! This company will be "Creating a New Generation of Internet Companies".

What's so interesting about it? The founder's names:

Jim Collas - Managing Partner, Post-PC Solutions
Rick LeFaivre - Managing Partner, Technology
Dan Pittard - Managing Partner, Business and Finance
Tom Schmidt - Managing Partner, B2B Solutions and Infrastructure

Also interesting is that the index site (title link) pictures the Boing ball texture in the leftmost picture of the line. This leaves room for many speculations I don't like participating in, but if Jim Collas supports AMIGA - in whatever way - I would very much wellcome this :-))). (ps) (Translation: mb)

AmIDE Beta version 0.2b released
The first public beta version of AmIDE has been released. AmIDE is a so-called "Integrated Development Environment", helping you in maintaining, editing and compiling your projects. The MUI graphical interface is used for this. In the current beta, AmIDE supports the SAS/C compiler, but in the final version, other compilers like Storm-C or vbcc will also be supported.

With AmIDE it is possible to work on several projects simultaneously, and compile them parallel. AmIDE is written completely object oriented, ensuring a high level of flexibility and expandability. In the future, more user requests will be implemented, and more compilers supported.

Wim AmIDE, the author hopes to finally bring a decent developer environment to the Amiga which can compete with other IDEs like KDevelop for KDE. A direct editor support for GoldED will also be implemented in the next version. Jens Langner will probably present AmIDE on the Amiga-Atari show in Neuss, Germany, on June 10th / 11th.

akDatatypes for MorphOS
Special versions of the akDatatypes are planned for MorphOS. From a developer point of view, MorphOS is an excellent platform for future Amiga PPC applications. Since registrations have decreased by 80%, but PPC apps make up 90% of all registrations, focussing completely on MorphOS seems likely - as a last-ditch attempt to give an impulse to the remaining market.

Added afterwards: As a small addition to my recent MorphOS statement - which might have been misleading in that point - I'd like to add the following: although special akDatatype versions for MorphOS are planned, already the current PPC datatypes (and most likely all other of my PPC applications, although not yet tested entirely) will run without any modifications. The special MorphOS versions just are for gaining extra speed and dropping old 68k/WOS/PPC ballast overboard. (Translation: mb)

The source code for HydraBBS is now available for download. The author, Dominic Clifton, gives permission to continue developing the program, but you must not charge a fee for it. However he contradicts himself in saying also that he wants a full version if parts of his program are used in commercial or shareware products. This seems to be more a basis for talks... ;-)

Supplement 13.04.2000:
In the Amiga News Forum, Dominic Clifton clarified the conditions for using the HydraBBS source code:
If you want to continue development of HydraBBS, you should present the version to Dominic prior to release, if possible. You must not sell the product.
If you use parts of HydraBBS in your own program, or use the source code as a basis for own ideas for other BBS programs, Dominic recieves a full version of that program. (Translation: mb)
