Hey there,
I'd like to know what you would find the fastest language in terms of looping and GDI calls.
Thing is, for a school project I want to write a motion detection application, and it has to be quick to keep up with the frames.
Also if you have links for optimizing code speed, that would be very helpful.
And please don't turn this into a language war...
Thanks :wave:
anything that is compiled would be similar in speed. Its really all about your implementation of the source code. I suppose C++ would be a good start.
Assebler would be my choice for speed. However if you don't know how to use it properly you might as well be writing in Logo. Not to mention the added time to the development cycle. C++ would be the next choice, slower in execution but if you are not familiar you can end up with some very slow code and an extremely long development cycle. If you are familiar with any of the web languages or VB then that would be your best bet.
Depending on your required resolution and frame rate they should all be able to do it. I have seen a webpage with four cams running fine and it was written with a combination of HTML and Javascript. It worked fine so the choice is really yours. :)
Assembler would be my choice as well, with C++ being the second choice.
If you don't know Assembler or C and you're wanting something that can be made an ran on multiple platforms you could write it in Java
