I use Puppy Linux BookwormPup.
I copied all the Hollywood files from my CD to /root/my-applications/bin/Hollywood:
Hollywood, Hollywood.key, Hollywood.sys, Interpreter and the directories [Docs], [Examples], [LinkerPlugins], [Plugins] and [projects].
In the console, when I navigate to Hollywood's home directory, and run:

Code: Select all

./Interpreter projects/test.hws

with the followin code:

Code: Select all

@DISPLAY {1, 640, 480, "Test"}

While Not IsKeyDown("esc")
 Flip
Wend

End

I get an error window saying "Tag expected!" pointing to line 1.

However, when I run this official example:

Code: Select all

./Interpreter Examples/Hollywood/FloodFill/FloodFill.hws

everything works fine.

What am I doing wrong?

You need not only values in the table but tags as identifier. Look at the examples for @DISPLAY in the manual.

Code: Select all

@DISPLAY {Width=640, Height=480, Title="Test"}

BeginDoubleBuffer()
While Not IsKeyDown("esc")
 Flip
Wend

Thank you. You were right — I was in a bit of a hurry coming back to Hollywood after a long break.
Now, another issue:
"Double buffering mode is not currently active!" — this error points to the line with the Flip function.

I've already added the solution for this, but without mentioning it. Try my complete example

Thank you. It works the way I expected.
