2D Game Engine?

[ariel]

Hello I'm new in here 

I want to make a 2D Game Engine to ease my game developing.. but I don't know where to start.
I do know how to make basic 2D games (but not platform games)

What should be in my engine?

thanks (and sorry for my lousy english  )

Slick is used by a few in here. It's not an engine as such, but it does provide a solid base for 2D game programming. So, I'd recommend that, instead of reinventing the wheel.

Yup would also recommend the Slick2D library, if you must write an engine, the slick2d library would still make a pretty solid base for your engine.
