I've been writing mods in GSC for Call of Duty since Black Ops 1 came out, and I've enjoyed it a lot. GSC is somewhat similar to C++, but I'm not really into gaming these days. I still like working on small projects for fun after work. Recently, I considered using my basic programming knowledge in a language or platform that has more capabilities than GSC or AutoIt. I've found AutoIt to be easy for simple applications but limited in what it can achieve. I'm looking for a programming language that builds on C++ and has some user-friendly GUI features similar to AutoIt, ideally for Windows projects, and with straightforward beginner-friendly instructions for compiling. I'm not aiming to be a professional developer, just something enjoyable for casual hobby projects.

I would suggest trying out C# with Windows Forms or WPF in Visual Studio. It's really beginner-friendly and great for building Windows apps, plus it has solid GUI tools. It builds on some concepts from C++ and AutoIt, making it perfect for your hobby projects!
Thank you! I will check it out this weekend! I already found a few great YouTube videos on the basics for both.
