Best open-source 2D game engine out there?

[Fantasist]

I think I'll go for Pygame, is pretty awesome. It's been there for a while so it's reliable. Python isn't much different from Ruby and I'm getting used to it. After a tiring search for an IDE better than the default one (IDLE), I found Geany. It's pretty simple and it's awesome. Wish me luck with indie gaming guys If things should go well, you'll be seeing a scrolling shooter soon

I will most likely settle for Pygame, but if you have any suggestions, please share them

Yay Geany That's actually a Linux text editor at heart, so yea

Glad you've found something you like, though. Good luck. What do you really have against RGSS, though?

[Fantasist]

Thanks

What do you really have against RGSS, though?

- I don't own RMXP and I won't be able to buy it in a while.
- Even if RGSS is usable freely (is it?), I don't know how to use it.
- I've always felt it was a bit slow.
- I want to support open source software

Yeah, I completely forgot the whole "best" and "open-source" parts.

Just wait until RGame has made decent progess, though...

How could you forget! I'm gonna hunt you down and make you buy bloatware >8U
