I’m going to try to participate again.  Haven’t had much success the last few times, but we’ll see.

The tools I use:

• Monkey-X
• Fireworks for graphics
• autotracker.py for music
• sfxr for sound effects
• Tiled if I need a map or something.
• VLC Media player for converting audio/video formats
• GifCam for creating animated gifs to share progress
• Github for source code maybe

Think that’s it.
