It surely does. And since I have no experience with C++ or SDL (but a little C), and coming from a Blitz background, my nose led me towards Fenix. I'd love to provide a link, but I gotta dash - but for 2D games it seems to combine a chunk of ability with a slab of ease-of-use. Still investigating, but it's certainly easier (for me) than doing it 'properly'.
Still, if you can, DO! :oD
