So yeah. Sometime last year, I made this neat tool called starlow. It’s a simple, text-based thing that lets you make retro-sounding music fairly easily. If you want multiple tracks, feel free to fire up Audacity and run the output files over each other (translation: I’m too lazy to actually blend notes properly).

On a different note, I’ll be using the following tools:

OS – My beloved Arch Linux with customized dwm.
Editor – Vim, with Syntastic, YouCompleteMe, and other nice plugins.
Language/Engine – C++, using my custom squeezebox engine. It uses Box2D for physics, OpenGL 2.1 for graphics, SDL for sounds, providing an OpenGL context and handling events. It can load levels from JSON files.
Art – The GIMP
Music/Sounds – SFXR and starlow
