[Advice] Which language to go for?

[arminius]

Hi there everyone,

I am a complete beginner and I need programing to save me. But I have no idea which language I should go for, and it would save me so much time and efforts if you would be so kind to let me know what you suggest given your experience.


What I want to do

What I need is to simulate random walk movement of simple particles in 2D, with the following characteristics:

1) The movement is continuous,
2) The movement is both visual in real time (adjustable time steps), and also the whole trajectories should be recorded, not on a black screen, but on top of a drawing,
3) The movement is not confined,
4) If the particles reach an end of the screen, they should continue on the opposite end of the screen,
5) At a given time interval t, each one particle should divide into N particles that continue the random walk movement from the same former position,
6) The user should be able to input the initial number of particles, the coordinates of each particle, the visual time steps, the time interval t at which particles multiply, and the number N of particles in which each particle is multiplied,
7) The default should set some scattered areas with less likelihood for the particles to move into.


So with all your experience, I would appreciate it if you could let me know which language could result more useful to me, to fulfill all these requirements in the simplest way, bearing in mind my knowledge of programing is very limited.

I run on

Windows XP
Intel Core 2 Duo
1.40 GHz
1 GB RAM


Many thanks for any orientation !

Kind regards

Python have yet to fail me at any programming task. It's easy to learn and got a wide variety of modules to use which should make this an easy task.

Thanks a lot ! Will look into it.

Almost any application language will work for this.
