Which Languages?

[bwh2]

what languages could be used to develop something like this?: http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/04/10/watch-your-network-play-space-invaders/

^any really. It would probably take a lot of network knowledge *(and its probably installed as a client to monitor hard drive activity, or something of the sort).

C++ (OpenGL or DX). This would probably take a whole team of devs to make though (and one 3d guy).

sorry, i wasn't clear enough. i'm just interested in the graphical aspect, not the networking aspect.

by any really, you mean.... (i'm not terribly knowledgeable about languages used to develop client apps)

[Templarian]

oh, 3d max, maya, anything that can do simple animations (the graphics for it were not to advanced other than the particle effects.

Any language with an OpenGL interface. Most likely, C++ or similar.

thanks guys. that should be enough for me to get started. i'm interested in creating a client app that presents data in more interesting views than the web really enables (except via flash AS or JS) and this seems like the best option.
