Game 2D engine for Windows or cross-platform?

Question

Game development

Actually, I'm interested in whether there are free 2D engines and which ones, even if they are paid, do you use yourself?
Interested in developing under Windows.

Answer 1

cocos2d-x is pretty good, free and cross-platform (mainly for mobile operating systems).
The documentation on it is good, the forum is active, active development, support and porting to other platforms is underway.

Answer 3

I think good old HGE still rules! :)

Answer 4

Since the author of the question did not indicate any specific requirements, except for the platform, I recommend trying Allegro Without exaggeration, the engine has been honed by two decades of development, plus a large and lively community.
