Hi, When it comes to loading up gfx I think we should use the following command style: Load iff Load jpg Load png etc. What do you think? It shows clearly the...
Hi Daniel, ... That's a good option too. I wanted to say that using the filetype it is easier to read the code but then again: load picture "test.jpg" will let...
... Hi! I'm a bit of a lurker on both the amos-list (although in 1993-1996 I've posted a few times) and mattathias list. But now I felt like joining the...
... image ... In AmigaOS 3+ that would be easy using datatypes.library but how would we do that in any other OS? I suppose we could just check the suffix but...
Hi Mark, I think indeed a "Load Picture" or "Load Image" will be a good thing. Mattathias can detect the image form itself. And like I said before, "Load...
Hi, Some time ago somebody on the Amos list made a Pitfall version in Amos. An exact clone. Does anyone still have it? Patrick [Non-text portions of this...
Hi, Personally I think first only focus on the Amiga version. Windows and Linux, I don't know. It should be like Amos. Have that feeling that Amos gave you....
... I would appreciate if at least the main code stays portable for giving programmers on other systems a help for starting. Talking of multi system...
I just got Picasso96 running on WinUAE here and found out that it doesn't support screen autoscrolling. AmigaOS 4 uses Picasso96 to do its graphics. That...
Hi, I only used standard Amiga's so far so I am not into the P96 stuff at all. Do you mean your point in relation with being able to compile old Amos code into...
Hi, I think it's possible for the main code (basic basic set of commands) to be portable. But extensions that use Amiga libraries or other Amiga specific...

... This is a good question...one that I've been wondering about also. The initial form of Mattathias (the one I'm working on right now) will essentially be a...
On classic Amigas (OS3.x) the custom chipset will be used, but for OS4 the plan at the moment is to be as compatible as possible. This really shouldn't be a...
Hi Mike, I agree that the Amiga version should come first. If you work on several platform versions at the same time it might become a mess and it might take...

Hi, If you have a certian command to do something then in the classic Amiga's it might use the custom chipset and on OS4 it might use a third party library. In...
Hi, ... There might be a big speed improvement when using custom chips on the classic Amiga. And as I said before, on OS4 you could do the same with that...
