I'm interested in studying the prime spiral interactively.

This question talks about some interesting patterns in the spiral involving quadratic equations. The idea I had was, write a program that outputs all values of a polynomial for a certain domain, output values to a list, and check for elements in common with another list, based on another polynomial of that same form. I'd want to make some plots.

What's a good way to play around this using an interpreter? I've never used Octave. Is that the kind of thing it's good for? Or Sage?

    @ixtmixilix for this kind of tests I use Python: it is possible to do all the things you initially want, here you can review some examples of plots: http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1412264/what-methods-are-known-to-visualize-patterns-in-the-set-of-real-roots-of-quadrat2016-08-16
