what would be a good free 2D engine to use to make Tetris. I would like to try to make it but i do no know what engine would be best to start with. Thanks guys.
As a beginner myself, I always recommend that beginners start out making their own engine, so that they learn how to do certain things for themselves. However, if you want to do this right away, I hear a lot of people like a library called Allegro. Do a google search on it :D

You hardly need to use someone else''s engine for Tetris . Even if one were available, it would be much more fun to do it yourself. Sense of accomplishment and all that.
Because a tetris game won''t need to do a lot of drawing, you should program your own engine. You could create some fantastic effects even is just using the SetPixel(HDC,X,Y,COLORREF); function.
