News   VD aktuell 03 - Spring 2024 released
  News posted by AndreasM on 30-Mar-2024 10:56:53 (347 reads)
VD aktuell is back - as a german retro gaming magazine with 64 full-color pages!

We have developed our (German) magazine further and turned the program guide into a real retro illustrated magazine, with a travel guide, psycho test, puzzles and everything else that goes with it - simply lots of fun, easily digestible snacks that bring fun into the retro life!
In addition we also bring you retro news, we briefly introduce new retro games and also take a look at the movies.
Of course, the YouTube video program is not to be missed (this time with videos from Virtual Dimension and Fog Lake Production) and we bring the cliffhanger to a close with the third and final part of the VD short story "In search of the lost retro game".

As you can see, there's something for everyone! And if all goes well, you'll be able to hold our magazine in your hands every three months from now on.

AmiWest 2024 "Get your game on!"



Join us in Sacramento California on October 25th, 26th and 27th for the 27th AmiWest show. This year our show theme will be "Get your game on!". Gaming has been a mainstay of the Amiga platform since before it's inception. The last few years have seen a resurgence in Amiga games and gaming across all platform flavors. This includes HW innovations A600GS, the latest modern retro releases , the latest game engines like Redpill , Hollywood, and Scorpion, with the latest tools like UniJoysticle.

AmiWest 2024 will be held October 25th to October 27th, at the Holiday Inn Express Cal Expo, 2224 Auburn Blvd.,Sacramento, California 95821, USA. Tell everyone you know and bring a friend to AmiWest

The show will be three days in 2024. In past years we used Thursday and Friday for the AmiWest on site DevCon. For 2024 we are going to change our format and shift the DevCon to a virtual event, more details will be provided in the coming months. For Friday, October 25th, the show will focus on long form presentations on leading hardware and software projects.

The AmiWest Organizing committee has begrudging decided that the email fad is not a flash in the pan and decided to implement a robust newsletter mail server. Please follow This link to sign up and show your support!

Watch amiwest.net for the latest updates and information.

Amigaworld.net News   Server4you downtime
  Amigaworld.net News posted by sibbi on 26-Mar-2024 15:19:36 (443 reads)
Hello,

Our hosting provider Server4you suffered what they called an "infrastructure incident" on March 21st. Water seems to have gotten into the room holding the batteries for the data center, which caused systematic failure which affected amongst other things, their routers, DNS subsystem and some of the machines they host.

It's taken them 5 days so far to recover from this incident and it's still ongoing but at least our network activity seems to have been restored. Our server was not directly affected by the outage, but network connectivity to it was however, so we dropped out 5 days ago and have been out ever since.

We apologise for this incident and the downtime, we have been looking into some sort of a future plan for the site involving a more modern virtualised hosting environment with a CMS which would be easier to maintain and keep running, but we're very understaffed and life keeps us busy with other things.

Kind regards
Sigurbjörn

software Classic   Emojis and more: Pangomonium 1.0 released
  software Classic posted by softwarefailure on 18-Mar-2024 14:31:59 (319 reads)


Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present a massive new plugin release for Hollywood: Pangomonium - The Ultimate Text Engine for Hollywood. Pangomonium is a plugin of epic proportions and the first plugin only available for Hollywood 10. Pangomonium contains an ultramodern, state-of-the-art text engine that can be used to draw text in almost any language of the world. On top of that, it also supports advanced text features like fonts with colored glyphs. This finally makes it possible to write programs which support emojis on Amiga! Pangomonium is based on the established Pango and Cairo text and vector graphics libraries and also allows you to access the complete Pango and Cairo function set directly from Hollywood scripts. Of course, there is also a high-level interface which allows you to conveniently draw text without having to delve into Pango and Cairo programming. Pangomonium has been two years in the making and is now finally ready for release exclusively for Hollywood 10.0.

Here are just some of Pangomonium's impressive features:

- draw text in almost all languages of the world (including complex scripts and layouts such as bidirectional text, right-to-left layouts etc.)
- support for fonts that contain colored glyphs (finally enjoy those colorful emojis on Amiga!)
- exports two high-level and one low-level interface to Hollywood
- Hollywood scripts can access all Pango and Cairo APIs directly (over 500 functions!)
- seamless integration with Hollywood 10's new text interface makes it very easy to use Pangomonium
- the plugin can also replace Hollywood's inbuilt vector graphics engine
- extensive documentation in AmigaGuide, HTML, CHM and PDF (more than 300 PDF pages!)
- comes with over 30 ready-to-run example scripts

And the best of all: Pangomonium is provided free of charge for all existing Hollywood users. Thus, please consider buying Hollywood to show your support for our massive development efforts. Note that Hollywood 10 is strictly required by Pangomonium.

The plugin is now available for free download from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3, AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, Linux, macOS and Windows are provided.

This release was brought to you by Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business.
