The likelihood of a GS C++ compiler decreases daily, but Splat! is an
excellent debugger for ORCA/C, Pascal, Integer Basic, or Modula2,
and (probably) the upcoming GSoft.  NiftyList gives info on tool calls
and errors.

I really really really doubt you'll et a C++ compiler to produce
65(c)02 code.  As far as the 65832 is concerned... Do you have one?
Do you know anyone who does?  You could hack up g++ to produce 65832
code - after all, the 65832 doesn't exist.

You can use any paint program (such as platinum paint) and there are
a variety of sprite compilers (Mr. Sprite, vsc, etc).  There is also
Genisys and other resource editors.  As far as sound editors are
concerned, there is no shortage of them.

I believe there is a library on Ground for adding easy help info.
What other things are you thinking of?
