Yes, Let me make what i said before bit more clearer,

Does anyone have any suggestions on what code to use for the engine

As you might know, i am coding my own game (signature). I would suggest you use allegro to start off as an game engine.

allegro.cc

If you need any help just send me an PM.

I would start with the language and than with the engine, for beginners programming with game engine's can be extremely confusing and difficult

Unlike PAWN; Game engines, especially the ones written in C++, have alot of concepts to be learnt, and alot of considerations and issues to be acknowledged and fixed if you'd like to develop anything near stability.

Most game engines are written in C++ as that seems to be the dominant engine for rendering engines, sound engines, networking engines, etc;

Are you serious? You want to make a game and you say you know c++ coding, yet you're unable to find a compiler?
