I do all programming in vi(m) which can be run in both GNU/Linux and
Windows. I then use gcc/g++ to compile in GNU/Linux. I believe Dev-C++
also implements this compiler so that shouldn't be an issue.

I'm currently using libSDL in the game I'm trying to make. So far I've
been able to compile and run it in both GNU/Linux and Windows.

I'm making this small and crappy game myself, so not much experience,
but I am able to work on either platform and compile and run the program
on both platforms.
