Answer 2

If in programming there is only basic knowledge of the type "somehow a cycle is written something like this", then I highly recommend Stencyl ( www.stencyl.com ). It was just created for 2D games, there is a convenient tile editor, a built-in Box2D physics engine, and all logic can be written on the Scratch variant - this is a programming language where programs are made up of pieces like puzzles, very easy and simple.
The only drawback is that in the free version of the game you can only do it on flash and HTML5, for other platforms you need to pay. But as for a beginner - there is no better, IMHO.
