Nice to see this thread, I'm just getting started with game dev. And to get a grip of the simple stuff, I'm developing a pong game using Polycode (http://polycode.org). I'm very much interested in knowing what tools other indie devs use. JonLim, since you mentioned you are looking to help, you can pitch in and help with Polycode itself - https://github.com/ivansafrin/Polycode. It's a nice tool with C++ APIs and also Lua APIs which makes it easier to develop stuff. I'm hangout on FreenodeIRC #polycode as HashNuke. I'm not working on the Polycode directly, but after this pong game (hopefully, if I can squash some bugs) I'll have a little framework to develop games using Polycode that I can opensource.
