   the right game engine
  Hello, I am currently a student majoring in game design and I have no idea what type of game engine to use. I want to make a 2D, action, platformer game. Similar to Kirby and Drill Dozer's playing style. What would be the right game engine that is easy to understand and use?Thanks   
  I'd probably go with something simple that covers all your requirements, like Allegro.   ;  I havn't used them personally, but i have some games that use them, and have heard pygame and clanlib are fairly easy to use for 2d games.   ;  Thanks for the help, I'll try those engines.
