There are two good ways to do this. One is make it java. There is a freebie java environment you can download from sun called netbeans at http://www.netbeans.org/ . it is a complete IDE. The other way is C++ using wxWidgets framework. with wxWidgets, you can use any IDE (borland or microsoft visual studio etc). The catch is that you have to compile it natively for each environment you want to run. So if you develop on windows, you will need to setup another compiler on linux, copy the source code to that environment and recompile. The advantage is that it runs much faster that way. checkout the links and see which you prefer.
