Tools Used
I guess people are posting tools lists… so I shall join in!
I used MSVC 6 (yes, 6! Not 2006 or whatever), The Gimp, and SFXr. Chatzilla for a whole lot of IRC action. Probably Notepad for the readme. The library I used was PTK for graphics, input, and sound. I made the font with Bitmap Font Builder. I tried to use Musagi to make music, but failed.
And that’s that!
