Best language for procedurally generating bitmaps?

category: code [glöplog]
 
Newbie here, what's the best (or perhaps easiest for my case) language to start creating raster images from code?

There's nothing wrong with C / C++, but Processing can be nice if you really just wanna whip something up as fast as you can.

I think Processing should be a nice place to start for a total beginner.

Depends on what you want to do. If you want to make computationally intensive images, shaders with GLSL or HLSL might be a good idea. If you want to keep it simple and just play around with stuff, Processing is excellent for just that purpose.

I just played around with Processing and it's exactly what I'm looking for! I'll also try some of the other suggestions since they look fairly interesting.

Cheers guys!

Hi, I would say processing too but you already got there.

Also, if you get more confident and want to make real software rendered demos then you could later go for C/C++ and the SDL library.
