I am a front end web developer and I've always been interested in building games. I work primarily with HTML, CSS, PHP, and JavaScript on a daily basis, so I'm not new to coding. I would like to know which language/platform would be most useful for me to build a simple, 2D, art heavy game, like something you'd see on the Super Nintendo.

Thanks.

  • \$\begingroup\$ in addition, if theres some tool you want to use, you would obviously have to go with the languages that are supported \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 27, 2016 at 22:24
