First Time
Language: C++
IDE: 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).
Libraries: 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.
Graphics: MsPaint && Paint.NET
Sounds: Sfxr, maybe Audacity to record whistling as music in the game.
The formatting is borked, but this is the “base code” I’m going to be using.

while(!exitgame)

break;

isWindowActive = true;
if (event.Type == sf::Event::LostFocus)
isWindowActive = false;
}
App.Clear(sf::Color(192,192,192));
App.Display();
}
App.Close();
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
