I think it is very nice if we can have 3D test suite that runs on every Amiga flavor + mainstream. It should be very valuable tool for developing the 3D libraries for HW acceleration.
(From what I've read from comments, HW might not be the optimal language for massive games that need to take the maximum out of CPU, but mainstream-like mammoth games are out of reach anyway??)
I doubt that using Hollywood would be a good choice to code 3D libraries for hardware (HW) acceleration? Seems to me that using "C", or "C++", or PPC Assembly languages would be better choices than a scripting language based on LUA, but then I am only a Wanna Be Coder, not a real programmer, so what do I know.
Also, it appears that you are using "HW" as an abbreviation for Hollywood in one part of your message quoted above, and then using "HW" to abbreviate "hardware" in another part of your message. That could be very confusing, don't you think? I agree that Hollywood is probably not the best language for coding massive 3D games, but that was not the question. My original question was if Hollywood is a good programming language for beginning programmers to learn, or would "C" be a better choice?
