Hollywood forums

Hi all,

I have put all the files available here.

Have fun!

Updated source files...

- Added highscores
- Some modifications to containenr "classes"

Fixed a couple of bugs...

Please re-download and test!

Could someone with the current Hollywood version download the source package and test it for me?

I am developing with Windows version of Hollywood 4.8 and there seems to be a bug with the string requester. It seems that after the highscore requester, the keyboard input stops to function correctly (no shooting and shield using possible). I have the newest AmigaOS4 version of Hollywood but don't have my AmigaOS4 machine available right now.

Hello jalih,
I've tested your really nice game
No problem on the string requester but I got an error after the hiscore:

Code: Select all

Music 1 is not currently playing
File: hscore.hws (current line: 30 - In function: StopMusic

Thanks, that should be fixed now.

I also got rid of the string requester as it was giving me problems with older Hollywood version and replaced it with something simple and ugly that works for me.

Tested it, looks really smooth.

How about a jump'n'run game engine as a next challenge? AFAIK nobody has written a jump'n'run engine in Hollywood so far...

Hi jalih
I have tested your new version on my AOne with OS4.1.5 and Hollywood version 5.3 and
I can rotate the spaceship and can use the shield function after the entries in the highscore requester.
But I found another point, I played the game 5 time, but in the Highscore was only 2 entries.
Also I had played an higscore from 3600 in position 1 and 2300 in position 2.
In the next game i come on an higscore from 4350, this entry overwrite the position 1,
but don't move the highscore from 3600 to position 2 and the 2300 highscore to position 3 (see screenshot). I hope you can understood what I mean.

Thanks, that was my stupid mistake...

Fixed and download package updated!

Actually, I almost have a simple working tilemap engine done for my framework. After it's finished, then the jump'n'run style games with scrolling backgrounds should be simple enough to do.
