Hello, I am not really a coder... My son learns to wirte small C programs and I wondered if it was possible to creata a window in Hollywood in order to play those simple things inside a hollywood window. Can I achieve it with Designer? Else?

Thanks, Luca

This should be easily possible using the "Run program" action event in Designer. Or you can use the Execute() or Run() command of Hollywood.

I tried, but the output of printf goes into a console on the WB and not in the holl. window...

Ok, I see what you mean. You can't redirect the output directly to Hollywood, but you could redirect it to a file and then print the contents of this file to Hollywood. E.g. something like this:

Code: Select all

Execute("MyProgram >T:TmpFile")
OpenFile(1, "T:TmpFile")
While Not Eof(1)
 Local tmp$ = ReadLine(1)
 NPrint(tmp$)
Wend
CloseFile(1)
DeleteFile("T:TmpFile")

yes, but the output is interactive. My son wrote a small game, where you have to find out a hidden number. You can choose between three difficulty levels. You give a number, and it says if it is too small or too big. Then you give another number, and so forth...

Ok, I'm afraid it's not possible to redirect this to the Hollywood window.
