Why is it that *I* am always the point of reason on threads like this?
First, it's a nonsensical poll. Rather than take it down though I thought I'd let it stand as such.
Secondly, there is no "need" for up-to-date software for 3.x... There is a desire, and a "it would be cool", but no actual need. AmigaOS is pretty much in the same arena now as the Jaguar, 2600, and other game systems of years past. Remembering of course that the Amiga was a game system which could be a computer, not visa versa.
Lastly, if you see a need for something, you need to actually step up and write it, rather than expressing that someone else needs to do it. We have a few talented coders left in the community, but those who could sit down and write a whole game platform over the weekend have long since gone onto the PC or Mac.
There's plenty of examples available, plenty of tutorials, and a lot of source material to learn from still. Maybe it'd be cool if everyone out there (at least those of us who still own Amigas) would pick and take on a single small development project. Then maybe we'd stop asking silly questions in forums..
