Amigan Software are proud to announce that the CodeWar simulator, already available for Linux and Windows, has been ported to AmigaOS 3 and MorphOS. An AmigaOS 4 version is imminent.

CodeWar is essentially a simulation engine which allows multiple processes to execute simultaneously within the same virtual environment. This in turn provides programmers with the facilities to compete against one another by seeing who can write the program which exists the longest within this environment. Unlike other simulators such as CRobots, the competing robots are real native programs and may thus be written in any language.

Less formally, CodeWar allows programmers to create programs (robots) which can compete against one another using a variety of armaments (cannons, missiles, etc.) by executing them at the same time and communicating with the CodeWar simulator. Robots have the ability to detect these other robots and make up their own strategies to outsmart other programmers' code.

Additionally, Worm Wars 8.73 and Saga 1.81 have been released. These feature improved MorphOS compatibility, among other enhancements.

After two years of development, Airsoft Softwair is proud to annouce the immediate availability of Hollywood 5: Infinity for AmigaOS and compatibles and Microsoft Windows. This is a massive update which boasts over 120 new functions in comparison to Hollywood 4.8 and brings along many new features and general improvements. Highlights include the ability to play video streams, full Internet and network support (you could even run a server with Hollywood now!), support for real vector graphics and vector image formats like SVG, hardware accelerated double-buffering, inbuilt synthesizer functions and much much more.

Hollywood 5: Infinity is undoubtedly the most advanced Amiga multimedia application and on Windows it is a fresh Indie alternative to bloated authoring systems that need tons of DLLs, memory, and hard-drive space. Hollywood is highly stable, extremely easy to use and flexible, and used by many creative people around the globe. A totally unique feature is the ability to cross-compile native executables for many different platforms including: AmigaOS3, AmigaOS4, WarpOS, MorphOS, AROS (x86), Windows (x86 & PPC), and Linux (x86 & PPC).

Today, the MorphOS Files repository, also available as MorphZone downloads section, reached 500 archives stored – over a gigabyte of MorphOS software. During its almost 3 years history it served over 93 thousands downloads with total traffic of 350 GB. Now it is not only used directly, but also serves as one of Grunch sources. It is also worth noting, a complete mirror of MorphOS Files is available at files.morphos.pl in case of any problems.

Quote: "I've just made a new release. Just a small maintenance one, but it adds a lowlevel.library joy plugin, which hopefully works on MOS as well."

This release fixes link mode emulation on 68k and x86 and adds a new lowlevel.library joy plugin, which should enable some kind of pad support for all ports.
