I know screensavers are useless by now. However, I'd like to program them as a hobby. I am aware of several languages having bought "Programming for Dummies". I'm a beginner in programming.
Serious answers only please.
Thank you.
What is a good programming language for screensavers?
If you are on MacOS, try the Quartz Composer, which is included with Mac OS X. Simply do a spotlight search for QUARTZ and find Quartz Composer.
If you are on Windows, I agree, get Visual Basic.
Reply:opengl or directx
Reply:Start with Visual Basic. Any language you pick will have to have the ability to create executable files, and anything in the visual series does. Basic is the easiest language for humans to read, since it doesn't rely on special symbols for syntax/command items.
If you find that performance is an issue with one written in Visual Basic, convert it to C. The programming structure is nearly identical between the two langauages, just the syntax is different.
