TIC-80

TIC-80 is a fantasy computer where you can make, play and share tiny games.
Pricing:
- Open Source
TIC-80. A fantasy console (a completely made up console system with strict constraints, specifically in memory) which is awesome. You can write games in Lua, Javascript and other not as popular languages (Wren, Fennel, Moonscript and Squirrel). It has some built-in tools like: a code editor, sprite and map editor, sound editor and music tracker. The original demo of Celeste was made in one of this kind of fantasy consoles (Pico-8). For me, TIC-80 is the most entertaining game development by far.

LOVE 2D

Hi there! LÖVE is an *awesome* framework you can use to make 2D games in Lua.
Pricing:
- Open Source
Löve. One of the most popular 2D engines written in Lua. As you have background in C and PHP, learning Lua (besides the framework) wouldn't be too hard for you, as it shares some similarities with those languages. In the official wiki you can find a lot of documentation and some tutorials provided by the community. Their forum is also a good place to find help and discuss about everything around the framework. My favorite example of a thorough tutorial on how to make a game in Löve is Bytepath.

Haxe

Haxe is an open source toolkit based on a modern, high level, strictly typed programming language.
Pricing:
- Open Source
Haxe. Technically it's not a framework but a language and ecosystem, it is considered the successor of Flash and ActionScript. It's a nice strongly typed language similar to Typescript, and while I always thought it was like a niche game development resource, quite popular indie games have been written in Haxe: Papers Please, Dead Cells, Evoland and others. It's worth checking out HaxeFlixel, a 2D game engine/framework written in Haxe with a lot of stuff to start developing a game quickly.
