Amiga Research Operating System (AROS) is a portable and free desktop operating system aiming at being compatible with AmigaOS 3.1, while improving on it in many areas. The source code is available under an open source license, which allows anyone to freely improve upon it.

Goals

The goals of the AROS project is it to create an OS which:

1. Is as compatible as possible with AmigaOS 3.1.
2. Can be ported to different kinds of hardware architectures and processors, such as x86, PowerPC, Alpha, Sparc, HPPA and other.
3. Should be binary compatible on Amiga and source compatible on any other hardware.
4. Can run as a standalone version which boots directly from hard disk and as an emulation which opens a window on an existing OS to develop software and run Amiga and native applications at the same time.
5. Improves upon the functionality of AmigaOS.

To reach this goal, we use a number of techniques. First of all, we make heavy use of the Internet. You can participate in our project even if you can write only one single OS function. The most current version of the source is accessible 24 hours per day and patches can be merged into it at any time. A small database with open tasks makes sure work is not duplicated.

History

Some time back in the year 1993, the situation for the Amiga looked somewhat worse than usual and some Amiga fans got together and discussed what should be done to increase the acceptance of our beloved machine. Immediately the main reason for the missing success of the Amiga became clear: it was propagation, or rather the lack thereof. The Amiga should get a more widespread basis to make it more attractive for everyone to use and to develop for. So plans were made to reach this goal. One of the plans was to fix the bugs of the AmigaOS, another was to make it an modern operating system. The AOS project was born.

But exactly what was a bug? And how should the bugs be fixed? What are the features a so-called modern OS must have? And how should they be implemented into the AmigaOS?

Two years later, people were still arguing about this and not even one line of code had been written (or at least no one had ever seen that code). Discussions were still of the pattern where someone stated that "we must have ..." and someone answered "read the old mails" or "this is impossible to do, because ..." which was shortly followed by "youre wrong because ..." and so on.

In the winter of 1995, Aaron Digulla got fed up with this situation and posted an RFC (request for comments) to the AOS mailing list in which I asked what the minimal common ground might be. Several options were given and the conclusion was that almost everyone would like to see an open OS which is compatible to AmigaOS 3.1 (kickstart 40.68) on which further discussions could be based upon to see what is possible and what is not.

So the work began and AROS was born.

Stargun project is a 2D space shooter game.
Stargun is a space shooter, vertical scroller game. Its platform independent (or at least it is the objetive). The target OS are Windows and Linux. There are plans to port Stargun to BeOs, FreeBSD and Amiga.
Stargun is written in C++ and uses SDL library.
This project is under GPL lisence.
Enhancements:
- Music & sound added
- Joystick support
- Levels support

i.Mage is a small and fast graphics editor slanted towards quite and easy pixel editing, ala DPaint from the DOS/Amiga days.
i.Mage project is not designed to compete with the other graphics programs out there, there are plenty that do a much better job than i.Mage.
However it starts in under a second and it does a lot of the mundane jobs of image editing quickly and without fuss.
Main features:
- Load/Save: Gif, Tiff, Jpg, Pcx, Bmp, Ico.
- 2 pane view, zoomed and 1:1.
- Downsampling/upsampling bit-depth, dithering, halftone, error diffusion.
- Resampling (smart resizing), cropping, rotating, offseting and flipping images.
- 8-bit palette editor: RGB/HLS ramps, colour cubes/stock palettes, reverse ramps, remapping.
- Clipboard support.
- Alpha blending.
- Basic linear/radial gradient fill.
- Undo que for most tools.
- Conversion of image to C/C++ code.
- Transparency support.
- Invert image.
- Convert to grayscale.
- Brightness/contrast adjust.
- Save/load/flip/rotate the current brush.
- Flood fill.
- Basic drawing primitives.
- Polyline editor.
- Text tool.
- Basic colour management via Little CMS, does RGBRGB on load/save to the internal colour space (sRGB), allows viewing of colour profile details.
Enhancements:
- Fixed the enable undo menuitem and the enable undo toolbar button being out of sync with each other.
- Fixed Bug #48: Undo doesnt work.
- Fixed the brush becoming part of the document when you say resize the image and the brush is still overlaid on the image.

InterLOGIC game is based on an old Amiga logic game Balls. This is a graphically enhanced release of our project from 1999, and now, five years after initial release, it is made available to public.

The object of the game is to move differently colored balls through the maze, connecting it with the other same collored balls.

Two or more connected same-colored balls will disappear, and you should clean the whole maze and finish the level.

The balls are connected if they are in 90 degrees position to each other, in a row or a corner (cannot be connected diagonally).This release contains 30 mind-breaking levels for you to solve.

Spectalum project is an engine for the CRPG Eye of the Beholder II.

Spectalum is a reverse engineered Open Source game engine for the 1991 CRPG Eye of the Beholder II: The Legend of Darkmoon originally developed by Westwood Associates.

Like with most similar projects, the original game data has to be obtained seperately to play the game.

Why..?

Because I loved this game so much - I played it a long long time ago on my Amiga 500 and later on my first PC.

Another point is my interest in classic gaming technologies. I think this Dungeon-Master style is very interesting from a gamers - and a programmers view. You can create fascinating worlds with very low system resources.

How to play

Copy your original game datafiles (ENGLISH version only) into the "original" game folder. Now start the game with the remake-binary (e.g. spectalum.exe).

Eye of the Beholder - the Legend of Darkmoon is a classic role playing game from the early 90s. You move through a static tile-based 3D environment solving puzzles and hunting monsters.

What do I need to play this remake?

My ambition is to create a system-independent 100% remake of the great original. That means old-school 320x200 role playing gameplay. By using the SDL multimedia library and general C++ coding standards the game will run on any libSDL supported platform.
