Hollywood forums

Hello all. My name is Goemon Ishikawa but you can just call me Goemon or Goe for short.
I am a blind user to Hollywood, and have wanted to make it my scripting language of choice for the easy to understand and small, as well as hand holding nature of it.
As it stands for things I am more of a designer rather than a programmer, I am much more used to putting down something and getting to understandings with my creation, rather than getting so much things and reading a tun of books that I can't understand to make something.
Sadly though, things like Unity and godot and so on aren't accessible at all and applications like clickteam and game maker have even less accessibility than Hollywood or are really only interested in making the application like games usable and not the software for said creations.


As it stands though Hollywood has exceeded my expectations, save for some things which I'll go into in a sec.
Let's start off first though with what I need help with. I am trying to make a small calculator program to see what I know, but I can't get very far because when I try to make the program respond to the enter key or return key, it doesn't work as it should and does nothing.
I did make the program respond to the left mouse action, but otherwise nothing elce works. The code follows below.
/*This is my first program.
It's to show off the power of my starting out with the programming language. */
OpenMusic(1, "1.mp3")
SetMusicVolume(1, "30%")
PlayMusic(1)
Print("Hello, and welcome to my calculator program.")
WaitLeftMouse()
Print("This is just a small program that will do basic functions, it's not a replacement for an official calculator.")
WaitLeftMouse()
Print("on the next screen you will be asked to write your problem.")
WaitLeftMouse()
Print("When you are done, press equals and then press enter.")
WaitLeftMouse()
End()

So far, this is all I've managed to do before I hit another roadblock, printing text and getting that information read out to me as is in code post.
Due to me getting information via a screen reader, much of the information has to be in such a way that it's either native or has designs that expose accessibility information for the screen readers to see. Hollywood I think doesn't actually print information to the screen but rather draws them, and this makes it very hard to read basic text messages and furthermore becomes a problem when debugging software for the future. I think it does that because hardware like the Amiga to save resources it was much easier for them to just draw the UI rather than print actual text by character, but of course I could be wrong.
In any event these are the issues I am getting with using Hollywood, and if any help could be given that would be much appreciated.
I also made a video demoing the issue and going to much detail as well as featuring the IDE and its accessibility and usage, and some information on the screen reader I use.

I hope posting videos are ok here and as I said, thanks in advance for any help and if the creator wants to take the time to see to the accessibility issues, I'd be more than happy to help how I can but I am not a programmer and I'm just starting out.

welcome

you have done so far being blind !? did not see video .. its too much
i dont know how many blind helping function Hollywood have

btw i think the best is to go with console rather that Graphical interface, here i have modified your example to use console, note that you must compile it to an exe to test it

full working example is in the next code block
