Artaburu just released a new textadventure written in PAWS called “Nheredia”. The translation was done by voXfReaX. You can download the english version here .
Another great news for cross-developers: PulkoMandy released an updated version of his pixel-art tool GrafX2. The sourcecode is available and should compile under Linux, Windows and MacOS. However, currently only binaries for Windows are available on the GrafX2 website , but binaries for the other systems will follow. The software is avtively supported, so don’t hesitate to ask the developers for help, features and bugfixes.
D_Skywalk, who is already known for his CPC emulator Pituka for the Gamepark GP32, is working on an CPC emulator for the Nintendo Wii. He already finished the graphic modes and added support for sound and the USB keyboard, but he wants that the emulator will look a bit more like a “Virtual Console” application, so he has some work to do.
Hopefully there will be a CPC emulator for the Wii in the future.
Devilmarkus created his first CPC demo called JavaCPC demo. It features music and a small animation of 59 compressed pictures. You can download it here and read more about its creation and the technique behind it in the CPCZone forums.
Krusty, Cloudstrife and PulkoMandy started a new project which is called CPC-DSK. Its intention is to bring all the development tools for Linux cross-development together in one SDK and hopefully speed up the development of new demos and games. You will find image viewers, image converter, tools for writing floppy disks, a port of Ramlaids CPC Tools and an upgraded version of the Caprice emulator in the SDK.
You can find the CPC-SDK on its project page at Google Code.
