== History ==
Hollywood has its roots on the [[Amiga]] computer. Inspired by Amiga programming languages like [[AMOS (programming language)|AMOS]], [[Blitz BASIC]], and [[Amiga E]], Hollywood author Andreas Falkenhahn began development of Hollywood in Spring 2002 after finishing his A-levels.<ref>Johnson, Magnus: Interview with Andreas Falkenhahn. Total Amiga 21 (2005), pp. 14-15.</ref> Version 1.0 of the software was released in November 2002, but only for [[Motorola 68000|68000]]-based Amiga systems. A month later, a native version for the [[PowerPC]]-based MorphOS followed.<ref>Schaefer, Robbie: Hollywood Multimedia. AMIGAplus 132 (2003), pp. 24-26.</ref> Support for WarpOS was introduced with Hollywood 1.9 which appeared in Spring 2004 together with the first release of the Hollywood Designer, a tool which can be used to create presentations with Hollywood. AmigaOS 4 is supported since March 2005. Starting with version 2.0 (released in January 2006), Hollywood is using the [[Lua (programming language)|Lua]] programming language as its [[virtual machine]], but with significant modifications in [[syntax]] and functionality.<ref>List of projects that use Lua. http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/lua-uses.html</ref> Starting with version 3.0 (January 2008), Hollywood for the first time also runs on two non Amiga inspired operating systems: Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Since version 4.5 (January 2010) Hollywood is also available with an [[integrated development environment]] on Windows. Since version 4.8 (April 2011) Hollywood can also compile executables for [[Linux]]. Hollywood 5.0 was released in February 2012 and introduces support for video playback and vector image formats like SVG. Starting with version 5.2 Hollywood also supports Android. Hollywood 6.0 was released in February 2015 and introduces support for [[OpenGL]] programming via a dedicated plugin as well as support for the [[Raspberry Pi]].<ref>Hollywood Portal, http://www.hollywood-mal.com/index.html</ref>
