MHEG-5 Hello World Example

Firstly the Application. This contains a Link that triggers when the Application starts (IsRunning), which causes a transition to the Scene.

{:Application
    ( '/startup' 0 )        // Application content reference
    :Items (
        {:Link
            1
            :EventSource 0          // Check this application...
            :EventType IsRunning    // ... for the IsRunning event
            :LinkEffect (
                // Load the scene
                :TransitionTo (( '~/hello.mhg' 0 ) )
            )
        }
    )
    :BackgroundColour '=FF=FF=FF=00'    // White
    :TextCHook 10                       // Default text content hook
    :TextColour '=00=00=00=00'          // Black
    :Font "rec://font/uk1"              // Font to use for text rendering
    :FontAttributes "plain.26.32.0"     // Default font attributes
    :BitmapCHook 4                      // Default bitmap content hook
}

And secondly the "Scene". This displays a rectangle and some text. When the Blue button is pressed the Application is quit.

{:Scene
    ( "~/hello.mhg" 0 )
    :Items
    (
        // Declare a background Rectangle that covers the screen.
        {:Rectangle
            1
            :OrigBoxSize 720 576                // Size of rectangle
            :OrigPosition 0 0                   // Position at top left
            :OrigRefLineColour '=ff=ff=ff=00'   // White
            :OrigRefFillColour '=ff=ff=ff=00'   // White
        }

        // Place a Text box on the screen
        {:Text
            2
            :OrigContent "Hello World!"         // Text to display
            :OrigBoxSize 300 50                 // Size of text box
            :OrigPosition 200 100               // X,Y position
            :FontAttributes "plain.36.42.0"     // Use large characters
            :TextColour '=ff=00=00=00'          // Red
        }

        // Define a Link that triggers when the user presses the Blue key to
        // Quit the application.
        {:Link
            3
            :EventSource 0          // Source is this scene
            :EventType UserInput    // Event type that we are looking for
            :EventData 103          // 103 for the blue key
            :LinkEffect (
                :Quit ( ( '~/startup' 0 ) )
            )
        }
    )

    :InputEventReg 3
    :SceneCS 720 576
}
