    I'm thinking of creating a simple game in C++, I know the basics and am willing to put the time and effort to learn what's needed to be learnt.

    I just need to know what kind of Engines there are out there and the best one for me as a beginner-intermediate programmer.

    also i've looked around and can't really find anything similar in the forums.. Your help is apreciated !

    thanks guys

    Include them in your projects? Any decent editor can link against libraries, which should give you access to the functions they implement.
