Needs adviceonOpenGLOpenGLmacOSmacOS

Hello all,

I recently saw someone using OpenGL to create interesting evolving/rotating, mathematical-type visuals that I'd like to use in my honors project. He uses OpenGL but I'm operating on a 2012 MacBook Pro, which won't let me upgrade past macOS Catalina.

Does anyone have any experience with alternative programs that would be just as easy to use, and implement?

Thanks for any help
