Hollywood forums

Hi

from time to time i see competive lanuganges, where some (more advanced by me) user does provide solutions based in Win32API , or general host's os api to implement some stuff not direct available.
in more cases, use of thousands of c std libs, used to direct call libs other systems.

curreclty AFAIK only way is to create a plugin using c languange for hollywood, but this require that you know C too...

wondering how easy would be to create a hollywood plugin in order to direct call std c libs ?

Would be possible but might not make too much sense because you often have to pass memory pointers to DLL/library functions and while you could set these up using functions like AllocMem() it would be very painful to read or write to a C struct in memory from Hollywood etc.

maybe some time, we must gather all ideas/experience in these years, and create a new Hollywood-II where address a lot of stuff and create a new platform more poowerfull and even more simpler !?? (just an idea
