For ^1the kids there's a copy of "Paint Me A Story" which is our first ^1commercially released program, kindly donated by Genisoft. For the ^1bigger people there's a chance to win a copy of The Amos Compiler, ^1kindly donated by Europress. ^2 See the competitions section to find out what you have to do. ^7 There are 2 new features in the magazine this issue, you should ^7now be able to print out any article you're reading, but not the ^7index pages, just by pressing `P' on the keyboard. Also, if you have ^7trouble reading the multicolour text, pressing `C' will turn the ^7display to black on grey, which might help you. Some readers with ^7monitors (lucky them!) had trouble reading certain colour ^7combinations, hopefully these have been sorted out, if anyone finds ^7the colours used are still unreadable, we'd apprecaite the news! ^1 The Amos for Kids kicks off properly with a little program that lets ^1you print things on the screen. Please let the kids have a go, we ^1are sure that they'll enjoy making the computer do something rather ^1than alien bashing all the time. The program is over REM'd to take ^1into account the age it's intended for. ^2 Thankyou to those who have written in saying how much they enjoyed ^2the first issue, we hope that you will also enjoy this one. ^2 If there is something that you would like to see changed, then let ^2us know, and we'll see if it is possible to do something about it! ^4 There are more screen effects for you to mess about with, and a ^4routine which creates an alert box to display your messages to the ^4users of your programs, eg Do you really want to Quit Yes No. etc ^4etc. If you've already tried printing this article, then you'll have ^4seen the box asking if you've got your printer ready. ^5 If you've ever wanted to make the characters in your programs ^5communicate with the user by using speech bubbles, then there's a ^5routine for you in the programming section. ^2 Have you seen the Demos by FANATIX in the PD library? Do you want to ^2hear some tips on how they write them? If the answer's 'yes' then ^2read the article written for Totally Amos by JAG. We hope that this ^2will not be the last we hear from him!! (HINT!) ^6 There are two games for you to play, Logger Larry by Aaron ^6Fothergill, written in just 10 AMOS lines, and Puzzle Game by S. ^6Raaiymakers. There are sprites from New Zealander Josh Addison's game ^6Boing and music from Luke Miller. ^4 Just arrived!! Disk from Technical Fred Software delivered today, ^4only just in time for this issue!! The programs were too good to ^4leave till next time, so look in the programming section for a bumper ^4package of program files! ^1 The ^2AMOS PD Library ^1is now heading towards its 350th disk!! Will ^1there be 400 by the time the next issue of Totally Amos is released? ^1That's up to you! Keep sending in your disks! ^2 The ^2Déjà Vu Licensed Software ^2collection has now passed the 50th ^2disk! Sandra Sharkey has seen that the disks get seen by the right ^2people, such as magazine reviewers, and it shows whenever you pick up ^2an Amiga Magazine! If you've seen a copy of the new mag PUBLIC ^2DOMAIN from Future Publishing, you'll know what I mean. ^5 We'd all like to say a big ^3[2T H A N K Y O U ^5[0to Sandra for her efforts ^5over the past year, and wish her every sucess in the future. ^1 I'll leave you now to enjoy the rest of the magazine, but if you're ^1like me, you'll have started to read this from the 'back,' in which ^1case, hope you have enjoyed it! ^3HAPPY PROGRAMMING!! ^2*BYE!*BYE!*BYE!*BYE!*BYE!*BYE!*BYE!*BYE!*BYE!*BYE!*BYE!*BYE!*BYE!*BYE \
