Question about Dom 3 development

Wow, cool. Makes sense too that it'd be Atari Falcon, since it would have an easier time doing "True Color". Maybe there's software to network the Falcon to Linux. I know there's software to run Linux on Atari ST's (and presumably Falcons). Thanks Arralen!

I got some answers back from Johan.

Plain C (no +, ++, or #)
Ubuntu Edgy Linux, and Gnome environment.

Some tools are sox, gimp and blender. Valgrind for debugging help. I suspect that blender has replaced his sprites program.

I mostly used Gimp to make maps. For sprites I use Spooky Sprites, but occasionally use gimps a bit at first and import the picture into spooky.

Spooky works under linux nowdays (and possibly under windows, although I haven't tried for a long time), but when we started with dom-ppp I used corel draw or something in windows and exported it to the atari version of spooky. At that time dom was an atari game. We switched to linux after a few months, but the atari conversion of sprites took quite a while to disappear.
