What are some good game engines out there that have coding

Question

I've used Game Maker before, and I've used Digipen's Funeditor. What are some other 2D game engines that use programming/scripting, but are not too complicated for a beginner. I've tried Haff's Game Engine, but I think it requires a good knowledge of C plus plus, which I'm still learning.

Answer 1

I found the Allegro graphics library to be great.  While it is not an "engine" in the total form, it does allow you to make games pretty easily - as long as you know some simple C or C++.

They also have a great tutorial for Newbies.
