This is my first time participating in Ludum Dare. Tool choice was difficult to make but once I discovered LÖVE I was hooked. Here be my tools:

• Language: Lua
• Framework: LÖVE
• IDE: ZeroBrane Studio
• Graphics: Paint.NET or Gimp
• Sound: Bfxr

Most of the above I learned about by reading posts here ― thanks for your comments everyone and good luck!
