How hard is it to program this??

How hard can it be to make a software using C++ to map an input lets say mouse movement to vr movement like forwards and backwards?

why use c++? theres other languages that are easier. 

also, its much easier if you know to the language itself. aka learn a easier language if you cant handle c++ yet

is there any language that is extremely easy to learn, I dunno if python is "as easy as they say"

Python is one of the best beginner languages IMO.

its pretty much english compared to the other languages. that said i wouldnt use it above hobby-level or workaround scripts you use.

basically you want to trandform a mouse movement into key up for example?

yes exactly, but not a key, a movement in vr, or a trackpad press

seems simple using python:

do I still need like osvr sdk or steamvr sdk to map my inputs to vr stuff?

You could learn basic or Lua but I don’t think those support VR. Unless Leadwerks or Cryengine support VR. 

 

If you go to codecademy, you’ll learn python, or Java really easily for free. SoloLearn was also pretty good. It just teaches you the basics of languages though.

In theory it's easy: accept mouse input, interpret the data, send the output.

 

The problem is sending the output. Do you need it to send directly to the game? Can you fake it by mapping the mouse movement to a keyboard input? What?

whatever works, perhaps faking it by mapping mouse movement to a swipe on the trackpad from its center, like how fast the mouse speed is, the further the swipe is from the center

You can manipulate or read I/O in Python via various libraries, there are also bindings to some VR libraries. It's not something that there is a ready to use recipe. You have to research if and how you can interface with the game/app you want to "modify".

aight, thanks, Im not expecting to get an easy solution for this, im also wondering how I would make and application using python, like launch an app that is in .exe form. I don't wanna code every bit of box, edge, or button of the app I wanna make, seems too time consuming for me

Py2exe can make a standalone binary. PyQt and few other GUI frameworks can make a desktop GUI app.

Im planning to make the software look like x360ce, any simpler way to do that? Other than coding every inch of the software?

Yes, PyQt has all the widgets, containers and whatnot to make it look like that and also scale correctly with window size.

You clearly haven't look Into data science or ai.

havent really kept up on it for a year tbh, totally forgot...

huh, thanks, didn't know PyQt could do that
