Fortis 1.2 for MorphOS has been finished and released. Full version of the game available on Encore Games' website.

MorphOS port of Lua scripting language has been customized to the system from the start. The next step done in version 0.5 is ipc.module acting as a gate between Lua and ARexx ports of applications. To say it short, with ipc.module one can send ARexx commands to applications from Lua scripts, and of course receive their results. A Lua version of known love.rx script from TVPaint has been included in the archive as a proof of concept. The module supports also interface to MorphOS shell using known ARexx "address command" idea. As all Lua scripts, those using ipc.module can be debugged with source level debugger LuaExplorador included in the archive available in the download section.

An update for multimedia framework Reggae has been released today. It is comprised of 7 updated classes, and small MorphOS SDK update containing compiler header files and up-to-date developer documentation. Except of some bugfixes listed in the changelog, the update brings a few new features like support for POST requests and ICY responses in http.stream. Thanks to them, Reggae can be used now for sending HTML forms and uploading files to WWW servers, as well as for fetching audio streams from Shoutcast internet radio stations.

I've just uploaded a new archive of my latest project:

UberCassette!

It will – one day – do everything to do with dumping cassettes of 8-bit machines, but as it stands V0.02 supports Acorn Electron, BBC, Commodore 64, C16/+4 and VIC-20 tapes. It supports raw TAP files as well as binary T64 files for the Commodore machines, and UEF files for Acorns. Just feed it your WAV file – even copy-protected ones – and it'll give you a nice emulator friendly tape file, ready for Vice or whatever.
