Hollywood forums

@MarisaG1967 Syntax highlighting from Hollywood works fine here in Vim. Using Debian Trixie (last week I updated from Bookworm); I don't remember having to enable to make it work. You can also try SciTE, which has Hollywood support too (it can also run your script from the editor), but you have to e...

You can have functions as table members. See https://www.hollywood-mal.com/docs/html ... Table.html.

So you can call those functions using either p_table["name"]() or p_table.name().

If you are using layers, maybe using SetLayerAnchor() and RotateLayer() would be easier?

@Bugala From the description, the returned "id" will only be returned when you pass Nil as the "id" argument to the function. And that is also consistent with other functions like CreateAnim() or CreateBrush() for example. Using Nil makes use of Hollywood's "private" po...

@oceanarts I name layers as soon as I create one, using id "0" which identifies the last layer created. For example: EnableLayers() SetFillStyle(#FILLCOLOR) Box(0, 0, 100, 100, #RED) ; create layer 1, which is the last layer created right now SetLayerName(0, "redbox") ; give the ...

As you have probably noticed, when assigning a table to a new variable using the equal (=) operator, only a reference to the ...

From lua's documentation ( https://www.lua.org/pil/2.5.html ): A table is always anonymous. There is no fixed relationship between a variable that holds a table and the table itself: a = {} a["x"] = 10 b = a -- `b' refers to the same table as `a' print(b["x"]) --> 10 b["x&qu...

@Bugala If I understood you correctly, the folder "Pictures" is always inside your program's folder, which is the current folder, right? In that case I think using a variable for the path could help you. Something like this at the start of your script (haven't tested): If #HW_AMIGA myDirec...

Actually, the scrolling text in the start screens isn't as smooth as it seems at first. It kinda jumps backwards a little to the right every second I would say.
