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.
