The CoolCow program is a small utility for those interested in distributed.net contests of number crunching. While the distributed.net client runs in the background, it still fully loads the CPU. This stresses a cooling system, which is especially hearable in Macs mini or PowerBooks. CoolCow reduces processor heating (at a cost of lowered client throughput) by periodically switching dnetc client off and on. The duty cycle is adjustable via small GUI. CoolCow is released with source code on BSD license and is available for download in our download section.

AmigaOS 4.x & MorphOS community we have listened to your feedback and are now seeking additional resources for DiscreetFX Labs to develop Aladdin 4D 6.0 for AmigaOS 4.x & MorphOS. You stated it was taking too long and we should not work on the OS X Lion version first so we are talking your feedback to heart. We are looking for one Amiga and MorphOS programmer proficient in C. No naughty Windows, Mac or Linux skills required, your time will be spent 100% working on coding what you love, AmigaOS 4.x & MorphOS!

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).

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.
