For 2d, go Allegro...Or SDL. I Personally prefer SDL as I've used it more. ;P
hey is c/++ or c# better for a 2d mario remix
And yeah, I'd reccomend C, or C++. Or Gyro's engine.

When I was using OpenGL (... probably going on 5-6 yrs ago now...) iirc it was a pain in the butt to do 2d w/ opengl, something about setting glOrtho and confusing myself. Using SDL atm and it's purty eezy

Keep in mind that you can do tons of things with hardware accelerated 2D (OGL) that you can't with software rendering (SDL).

SDL supports hardware accelerated surfaces...
