How to write a program that controls the engine

Well, I want to connect the engine to move the laser arrow up / down left / right to draw patterns on the wall,

I can not find examples of people who do this.

Can anyone find any help for this project / which programming language will be used for this / which computer ports will use this / should I create a circuit or can I just buy it?

There are many different approaches to this. Here are some of them from the head. 1. You can use a microcontroller like Arduino.
2. You can use the serial port and socket. There will be a good resource here if you want to continue this route. http://www.easysw.com/~mike/serial/serial.html
3. If you only need to control two motors, you can use the headphone jack on your computer. You can connect a simple amplifier circuit to each left and right speaker line. Then connect each of the amplifiers to a separate motor. Then you can write a program that generates a separate sound for each channel, thus changing the voltage indicated by each motor.

PS, if you use a servo, you can control the exact angle of the laser.
