Right now I am learning to program in pure OpenGL, but I am considering switching to a higher level engine.
What engines are you guys using that you would suggest for simple 2D games?
Edit:
I am using C++.

[QUOTE=Jallen;25244769]Irrlicht or Ogre.[/QUOTE]
You should read beyond the thread title.
So what programming language are you using?

For the sake of argument, you could make a pretty bad-ass 2.5D side-scroller with per-pixel lighting and shit using either of those.
Woops. New suggestion: SFML.

Yeah I agree, but I don't think it counts as "simple" :v:
Simpler than plain OpenGL, perhaps.
SDL or SFML.
I agree with SFML. It's really easy to use it after a few hours.

More like as soon as you open the documentation. It's really easy.
Definitely SFML
If you want to do Python, I'd say either PyGame or Pyglet.
Sorry to have not make this clear, I am using C++.
SFML looks like a good one, and I will look into it.

Personally I'd use PySFML or PyOgre if coding in python.
I'm using Irrlicht, I know it says 3d, but it can do amazing 2d, and you can mix 2d and 3d with it. It also can do some pretty nice per-pixel lighting. Would be cool if your did that. It's your choice though.
