Hollywood forums

Standard JSON-parser should not support storing or evaluating code. Generally it's a bad idea and should only be done with trusted JSON, as it would allow injecting malicius code into your game.

So I think we really shouldn't demand support for a private way of working from an editor that is intended as a universal tool for all kinds of text, or in the case of the IDE, specifically for Hollywood scripts. It's normal procedure to edit JSON with text editor or any other tool. BOM is not need...

How about adding a graph support for Hollywood? It would allow non rectangular game maps easily and handles other useful stuff also. 8th supports graphs and graphs now also support Uniform Cost search (and also A* when heuristic function is given). Here is a sample demo video of a web application us...

Here is how it should behave.

i have remoevd dy=dy+1 ,why is there ? its cosntantly rising and confusing rest of checks Probably should be simulating gravity and it needs to constantly rise on a platformer game or the player can't fall! Ground tile collision detection code when colliding should push the player back up until it'...

If someone is looking for a nice game programming project idea, I can recommed creating a 2048 game. Make it work on desktop and mobile platforms and animate moves. Here is a video of my version written in 8th programming language. It works on desktop and mobile platforms.

I think Hollywood constants are just values, so you cannot do that and need to use something like: Const #TEXT_COL = $000020 Const #DECO_COL = $F08000 Const #PAPER_COL = $F0F0F0 Const #OPTS_LOCOL = $0050A0 Const #OPTS_HICOL = $D02020 PALETTE = {#TEXT_COL, #DECO_COL, #PAPER_COL, #OPTS_LOCOL, #OPTS_HI...

If anyone is interested in helping me change the code from SDL to OpenGL to see if it is faster, more than happy to share the code. I guess you have done the obvious optimization for tutorial code and draw wall slices directly from texture using hardware acceleration instead of drawing pixel by pix...

There is an excellent old article about realtime pathfinding by Swen Vincke inside the Game Developer Magazine, June 1997.

Have you tested performance on a Raspberry Pi 4? Does Hollywood support kms/drm driver with Linux versions, so programs can run hardware accelerated without X11? How is your collision detection done? I use a collision map and a few collision points to test tilemap collisions. With enemies and game o...
