Resources

Asana - Project management software that seems to work well for short, iterative development software lifecycles. It's easy to add tasks, assign them teammates, get e-mail reminders of deadlines, and track tasks that need to be completed.

Lightweight Java Game Library - Easy to set up interface for OpenGL using Java. Perfect bare-bone structure to take care of setting up the animated view as well as providing a nice interface to OpenGL functions.

Game Maker - Nice environment to hack up quick 2D game prototypes. The GUI makes it easy to quickly work on a prototype, but the lack of debugging makes it prohibitive for larger projects.

Thinking in Systems - An absolutely amazing book that presents insights on how to think about the interactions of different systems in your game design. It was written as a means to think about systems in general, and applies to many facets of life.
