Call me crazy, but I think you really don't know HTML if you think you can make programs with it. HTML is a "markup language" it exists merely to output a formatted display. It can't do any math, or any processing, or store variables, or any other basic programming functions.Ok so here's what I'm going for, I knew that I need to go in a programming languauge I want to know if anyone has dabled in say something like HTML I know and I like HTML
If you want to do this, its going to take some real programming skill. Go talk to your computer programming teacher or the youngest math teacher on staff if you don't have a programming teacher. Start learning basic programming. The software you described could easily be a capstone project at the end of a 4 year CS program. Its not something that any language made to run a website would be able to handle.
jinx, I think you owe me a coke?
Ok so here's what I'm going for, I knew that I need to go in a programming languauge I want to know if anyone has dabled in say something like HTML I know and I like HTML but, yes you all are very right I should be looking at Ruby or Java... I have no idea where to start on this project though. So pretty much this is a step that I cannot quite get in a larger project.
Larger project: Create a prototype lighting board that would use real time images as well as being able to sense based on past photos of where lights are focused on the stage. This would then bonce off the paperwork from vectorworks and lightwright and figure out which lights/channels/dimmers are in a certain area. The designer would then be able to click on a area of the stage, and a list of lights/colors/effects whichever the user specified would come up. The designer could select it and select a leval. It is a way of boards that would allow the designer to watch the stage through an image and eliminate the board op. I also understand that I will have to figure out a better way to translate the true colors of the light to the camera and moiniter but am figuring that out slowly. So that's about it.
... Anyone want to help? haha

You are in HS, do they have any computer science classes you could take, Java perhaps. See if you like that, then go to college for it, and then maybe after that you could re attempt your project.
Then I will call you crazy. I know HTML I want to use it to be able to complete one part of the project. I will be deploying an actual program, but I want HTML to be able to point to the program, then the program to point to DMX. So before you make these kind of accusations maybe you should ask. I mean no disrespect but next time. Thanks
