... but how does the difficulty level compare? I imagine Hollywood is night and day more involved and powerful, but just the difficulty of the concept?
Hollywood has a very low hurdle to start with and to get first results. The examples and documentation that come with the package are a good starting point. Of course bigger and more optimized projects need more time to write.
I use it more and more these days and actually like it. In contrast to C or C++ you actually get working results while programming only occasionally (say one evening per month).
Currently I write a program to measure stimuli-reaction times. For exampe a very simple (and stripped down) function where after a random time a purple circle gets shown and the time gets measured until the user presses space looks like this:
Function p_2Stim() ; *** circle high contrast
For i=1 To 10
Wait (50+Rnd(200))
Circle (20+Rnd(740),20+Rnd(540),3, #PURPLE)
StartTimer(1)
WaitKeyDown("space")
t=GetTimer(1)
Box (10,10,780,560, #WHITE)
my_testpara [(i)+$testnumber*10] [1] = t/1000 ; *** store times in an array for later use
Next
p_mybuttons() ;return to main menu
EndFunction
I think that is rather easy.

Whenever you're sad just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie.
...and Matthias , my friend - RIP
