What is it?
Hollywood is a multimedia-oriented programming language that can be used to create
applications and games very easily. Designed with the paradigm to make software creation
as easy as possible in mind, Hollywood is suited for beginners and advanced
users alike. Hollywood comes with an extensive function library (encompassing over 1000 different
commands) that simplifies the creation of applications and games to a great
extent. Having been in development since 2002 it is a very mature and stable software
package today.
One of the highlights of Hollywood is its inbuilt cross-compiler which can be used
to deploy software on many different platforms without having to change a single line of the
code. The cross-compiler can compile executables for all platforms from any platform Hollywood
is running on. For instance, you can compile macOS application bundles using the
Windows version of Hollywood and vice versa. On top of that, there are also extensions
that allow you to compile your Hollywood projects into native applications for iOS
and Android.
Hollywood is a light-weight, but still powerful programming language whose core is just about
two megabytes in size and does not require any external components. Hence, it is ideal for
creating programs which run right out of the box. In fact, Hollywood programs will run perfectly from
a USB flash drive without any prior installation whatsoever. Furthermore, Hollywood's core functionality
can be greatly enhanced through lots of freely available plugins allowing
you to access OpenGL and SDL through Hollywood, for instance.
The following platform architectures are currently supported by Hollywood:
- AmigaOS 3 (m68k)
- AmigaOS 4 (ppc)
- Android (arm)
- AROS (x86)
- iOS (arm)
