Stencyl raylibI got to know Raylib just a few days ago taking a course on learning C++ to start using Unreal Engine. I have a background with assembler(a long time ago), Python/Pygame, C#/Monogame, and Unity/C#. Within the few days I used it, I am simply blown away by the simplicity but yet extremely powerful Raylib library. The routines and functions are very clear and access is very simple. Everything is well documented. I am yet to go in-depth with the library but I never had such an experience in the past building games, which is my main interest. If you stumbled upon this by chance stop and give it a go. You'll never regret it. Right now I am thinking of the many ways I can use this with the languages I know.

I have been using Stencyl for my personal 2d games. Source: almost 1 year ago
I thought he used Stencyl (which has block coding like Scratch). Source: about 2 years ago
Isn't that what unity is? Honest question, I've never used it. There's also stencyl. Source: about 2 years ago
I'd choose something that requires less explicit programming, like Construct. It's proprietary software (I'm not affiliated with it in any way), but they have reasonable prices for education, and I know a person who has had success teaching kids to make basic games with it (with Construct 2, I think, which don't people prefer to Construct 3). Some similar tools which I haven't tried are Stencyl or GDevelop (this... Source: over 2 years ago
It sounds like you're maybe asking for code frameworks/libraries instead of engines? Something like https://raylib.com/ might be better suited? Source: about 1 year ago
I would recommend SFML or Raylib, they're both excellent and fairly easy to set up, plus have really good documentation. And if you decide to really dig into them you'll eventually be able to create any game you want. Source: over 1 year ago
I'd also recommend raylib as an option. Check out its website: http://raylib.com/. It is beginner friendly enough with good cheatsheet and examples. Source: almost 2 years ago
Finally, you can use raylib.com , a C library but it has a great interface and multiple examples. Howeve, it is not wide-spread like SDL. Source: over 2 years ago
The easiest option is C# and Unity, even though I think at some point (if you want to experience real programming) you'd better off using a framework. Source: almost 3 years ago
