Here is a modest proposal for the V4SA, based on my own setup. My purpose is to use a simple and stable, clean and tidy GEM environment for my GFA coding: have to discard my own bugs from unsafe/unverified softwares. So few applications, the only I could use everyday. My own apps seem to run without a hitch, so they are present in number here. Sorry about that, please complete and test one by one with other softwares you want to use. Continuer la lecture de Fēng Shuǐ distro for GEM use
mbedTLS.ldg
Brings SSL/TLS layer (recent TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) to clients applications using MiNTnet and STinG/STiK TCP layers.
Built on mbedTLS 3.6.4 and LDG system.
Used by :
– Troll, usenet and email client.
– Meg, mailbox checker and spam eraser.
– Litchi, ftp client.
Other programs can use it, please read the how-to and functions calls in the st-guide documentation.
Here are listed versions for 68K, 68020-060 and ColdFire V4e using cross-compilation and the mintlib. Safe LDG.PRG is provided to install TSR ldg functions and the ‘LDGM’ cookie needed for my applications.
NB: TLS 1.2 needs a very strong CPU (060, ColdFire, Aranym, V4SA). TLS 1.3 seems quicker but still may also good highclocked CPU.

MapEdit
Map editor dedicated dedicated for games development (2/16/256 colors) and part of the P2SM project. Tiles are imported from GIF and asset is stored in GIF containor.
Needs EdDI cookie for offscreen VDI (NVDI), plenty of RAM and strong CPU.
The programs MAPEDIT and its tool MAKE_MAP (GIF slicer) use the GIFdec.ldg and GIFenc.ldg libraries to manage GIF file format. Please install these accordingly to the LDG way (release 3 for FreeMiNT, release 2 if you stay with MagiC).

P2SM
Means « Pixels to Sprites & Masks »: image tool dedicated for games development (2/16/256 colors sprites). Work is done on chunky two-dimensional byte-array, so that image modifications are made independently to current screenmode.
Can be used as plain drawing tool for oldschool pixel artwork.
Needs EdDI cookie for offscreen VDI (NVDI), plenty of RAM and strong CPU.
Uses a customized PARX.SYS, provided in the archives.
The program can use the GIFdec.ldg and GIFenc.ldg libraries to speed-up GIF loading and saving and support GIF89a extensions (transparency, animation).

GIFdec.ldg, GIFenc.ldg
Libraries using the LDG system and the GIFLib functions to respectively decode (read) and encode (write) images stored in GIF87a and GIF89a formats.
Used by:
– P2SM (since 1.3E) to load/save GIF static images more quickly, to handle transparency and animations.
– MapEdit (since 1.0) and its MAKE_MAP tool to slice a large GIF image into tiles and map,
– and future tools.
Other applications and games can use it, please read the HYP guide and P2SM GFA sources (gifdec_*/gifenc_* functions) as exemple.
Purpose for the GIF decoder is to obtain color table and 2d width*height array raw colors indexes data of the image (=rasterbits, =chunky mode). This avoids c2p+p2c two steps convertions in P2SM image tool, thus quicker. This is also convenient for games to load sprites, recolor them as wanted, and avoid to convert from TC24 bitmap (generated by classic decoders) downto 16/256 colors.
Here are listed versions for 68K, 68020-060 and ColdFire V4e using cross-compilation and the mintlib. Safe LDG.PRG is provided to install TSR ldg functions and the ‘LDGM’ cookie needed for my applications.
Safe under FreeMiNT. If you are under MagiC, go in the /archives/ and get release 2 version.

If you’re a DM-addict, go to see the The Dungeon Master Encyclopedia.

is a GEM and GFA port of the revamped Amiga version. This project is frozen: current step is AI for computer fighter but I’m not motivated to code any AI that cut heads off. Maybe work will resume in a few years.

(Rage) Screen Saver
Another screen saver accessory. Originaly developped for fVDI on Falcon+Eclipse and ATI RageIIc, under MagiC environment. And now extended for FreeMiNT.
Mouse cursor moves are monitored. If inaction, then 2 actions:
1 – first is software (MagiC or MiNT required), launching an animation program such as one of my VDI Effects or one of your own.
and/or, but always next
2 – second is DPMS, with two methods:
2.1 – one software, by displaying a black image, in order to save pixels, and hopefully for the monitor to detect it and turn into sleep mode.
2.2 – one hardware, by setting off the display in the registers of the video card. Detection is automatic if PCI BIOS is available. If not, you can set it manually for your video card expansion. Read the ST-Guide documentation and the GFA sources.

Captures d’écran
Petite séance de copiers-collers dans Ressource Master samedi-dimanche pour refaire proprement mon set d’icônes. Je reste attaché aux vieilles 32×32 16 couleurs datant de 15-20 ans. Venant d’un vieux set pour FireBee, auquel j’ai rajouté certaines venant de ma configuration Falcon sous MagiC et quelques autres trouvées ça et là sur les internets.
PolarSSL.ldg
Brings SSL/TLS layer (SSL 3.0 to old TLS 1.2) to clients applications using MiNTnet and STinG/STiK TCP layers.

Troll
Lecteur de forums de discussions (NNTP) et client pour courriers électroniques (POP3, IMAP4, SMTP). Couche TCP/IP STinG ou MiNTnet+GlueSTiK nécessaire. Peut accéder à des messageries sécurisées avec l’aide de d’une librarie SSL/TLS.
Usenet newsreader and email client. STinG or MiNTnet+GlueSTiK TCP/IP layer needed.
The program needs:
– PolarSSL.ldg or mbedTLS.ldg to manage secure connections. This library brings SSL/TLS to MiNtnet and STinG TCP layers, and allows the Troll to connect with POPS, SMTPS, IMAPS, POP3 with STLS, SMTP with STARTTLS, IMAP4 with STARTTLS, NNTPS, NNTP with STARTTLS.
– Deflate.ldg for backup.
