Hello all, I'm looking for a decent 2D game engine preferably one with physics. I want to get into indie-stlye game design and wanted to create my own engine but seeing as I'd have to design, code, test, market and distribute the game, I figured that I had enough to deal with ;) Anyway, any suggestions would be nice Thanks, Vamp

May I ask which programming language you are using?

A good starting place. Also This.

I was influenced by the Ghetto you ruined.

I'd recommend HGE. It's a very nice 2D engine to use in C++; it's fast and very easy to use.
It uses DirectX 8, though, so it doesn't have some newer graphical features. It's great to start out with, anyways.
