Language<\/strong>: C++<\/p>\n

IDE<\/strong>: Depends on the operating system. I’ll primarily be using Windows (which means VS 2010 Express), but in the last hour or so I’ll probably port it to OS X (XCode).<\/p>\n

Libraries<\/strong>: SFML and possibly Box2D depending on the theme that gets picked. I would be using DirectX, which I’m more familiar with, but DX doesn’t port well to OS X.<\/p>\n

Graphics<\/strong>: MsPaint && Paint.NET<\/p>\n

Sounds<\/strong>: Sfxr, maybe Audacity to record whistling as music in the game.<\/p>\n

The formatting is borked, but this is the “base code” I’m going to be using.<\/p>\n
