- X4 13y agoWhy is your username in green? Is your program for the desktop, the web, mobile, tv or all?
- infinity 13y agoThe name is green, because the account is still new. After some days this changes.
- visuamuse 13y agoI plan to make it for desktop
- X4 13y agoI'd recommend learning C++ using Qt and Processingjs.
- visuamuse 13y agowhats Qt and processingjs?
- X4 13y agoOh I think R http://www.r-project.org/ http://www.r-project.org/ would be more suitable for you, because learning C++, esp. Qt isn't easy. R can be learned by everyday business people, so you can surely do that quite fast too. Qt is an awesome C++ Framework that comes with full-blown IDE (Integrated Development Environment) not just a simple Editor and works across all platforms. Processing is a Visual Programming Language: you find it here: http://Processing.org http://Processing.org and here for the web http://Processingjs.org http://Processingjs.org You could also use a a dynamic and programmable charting library like D3 http://d3js.org/ http://d3js.org/ but that would be more useable for the Web or a Desktop that Shows a Single page only or your own Browser in Kiosk-Mode (Fullscreen).

- visuamuse 13y agomaybe i should use Javascript like you said because i want to do graphics
- X4 13y agoOr have a look at my recent submission: ThreeAudio.js it allows you to access the HTML5 Web Audio API https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6067369 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6067369
- visuamuse 13y agowow i feel dumb. this looks complicated
- rdouble 13y agoYou want to prototype with processing then use open frameworks or libcinder for the final project.
