GUI programming languages for Linux

[PeterAndrewStephenson]

i need to create an interface with dots that:
1. I can move around
2. give values to hold

i need a programming language that will help me do that, what are you suggestions?

If you need something really easy and basic like, gambas3 is the ticket.

I've only recently started working with QtCreator, but that could be an option.

Almost all common languages have bindings to graphic widget libraries.

The language probably doesn't matter.

That sounds pretty simple so you'll have a lot of choices. If I were doing it as a learning exercise I'd write it in C++ using some Linux widget library (probably QT) just because that's what I'd like to play with at the moment. If it was for some sort of business/job purpose and I needed to get it done quick I'd probably use Java since I've got lots of Java experience and the result would also run on Windows, MacOS, etc.

You have lots of options. I'd ask yourself what else you want out of this project before picking one.
