This tutorial is showing you how to create a fully partioned Amiga CF-card in about 10 minutes from scratch. The process will involve using a Windows-based disk image tool and writing a prepared image-file directly to the CF-card. The resulting card contains four empty Amiga partitions that have been set to the correct MaxTransfer of…
This text summarizes the tools and workflows that we used during the development of our Amiga demo Prototype 1, which was released at Breakpoint 2010. Introduction The development of Prototype 1 implicated programmers with different backgrounds ranging from high-level C/C++ engine coding to low-level Motorola 68k assembly coding. Hence we decided to devise a tool-chain…
In 1997 a friend of mine (Dr.Dreyer) and me (Noname) worked on a demo cd project for AGA Amigas with 68030 CPU, because that was what we and many others had at that time. Our goal was to include all our favourite demos and not allow any crap on the CD. Our vision was to…
Equip2 is a dataspace implementation that provides flexible access to programming language objects across a variety of platforms and programming languages. It is especially well suited as a higher level datastore for distributed applications. Equip2 provides template-based data queries into the datastore and an integrated state/event model with change notification. Equip2 is available on Sourceforge….
Almost two years passed since my last post to this blog in April 2008 – oh boy! But the time has been quite exciting as I got married, completed my PhD, and took a new job back in Germany. Anyway, I am still working in the same area of interest and can thus continue on…
I have given my Turbogears meets IMDb webprogramming and scripting lecture again and produced a little video for it. You can see me getting the project to run on a vanilla machine (Python 2.5 and easy_install already installed) in less than two minutes. The video also shows a quick walk-through of the browser-based user interface,…
My former course of study “Medieninformatik†(Media Informatics) at Hochschule Harz just celebrated its 10 years jubilee on the 10th of November 2007. I had been invited to give a talk about Pervasive Gaming and it was a great pleasure to come back to the place where my academic career started and to see so…
We (the artist from Active Ingredient, Capra and me from MRL) recently went to Tampere / Finland to collect the “Nokia Ubimedia MindTrek Award 2007” for the heartrate-based game Heartlands (previously known as ‘Ere be Dragons). The judges said “Heartlands (‘Ere Be Dragons) lets us discover a world on top of reality at the rhythm…
I recently gave two guest-lectures at Nottingham University on web-programming using TurboGears. The first lecture was a general introduction to Model-View-Controller web-programming using TurboGears. The second lecture was more practical: I wanted to present a full mini-application and show the students how it was built. And I also wanted the application to be at least…
