FreeBASIC

I've been using FreeBASIC for some years now; it's a compiled version of BASIC which has support for a lot of libraries such as OpenGL, GLUT etc.

In order to use it efficiently you'll also need to download a Code Editor (IDE) to type your code into. I use FBIde but there are others like FbEdit & JellyFB Editor.
