That will depend on what OS you're targetting.

Yes I would guess its going to be in OpenGL if that's what I need to make the graphics. &nbsp;That's one of the things I'm unsure about...which I need to use to produce the pendulum in the easiest possible way. &nbsp;The pendulum's only thing that can be changed would be the speed. &nbsp;The mass, and length will be constant. &nbsp;Thanks

I'm trying to build an animated pendulum. &nbsp;I have researched that C++ can receive the simulated data given out from another program to allow me to use this data in C++ to make the animated pendulum. &nbsp;So this is why I'm chosing C++ to make it.<br />
<br />
What I am still confused is what type of libraries I need to use. &nbsp;I know that I need to choose a library but don't know what's the difference between all of them or what they are used for. &nbsp;What's the most suitable library should I choose to make the animated pendulum using C++? &nbsp;Any links that can help with what I'm trying to do would be helpful too! &nbsp;Thanks

Making animation in C++

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
