i am looking for a game engine, like the Unreal Engine, but something simplier. something with a level editor and stuff like that.

Game engines are not trivial pieces of code - you may want to consider if what you are asking for exists.

I'm not sure i follow you completely. Do you want to use a game engine[that maybe provides an editor of some sort] to create a game? OR Do you want to see the internals of the game engine?
Anyway, here is a list of game engines. Some seem to have an editor as well[i'm not sure how you would use them, since i have not used any of these myself].
PS: If you are interested mainly in 2D(sprite based games), may be you can try googling "2D sprite engines". That seemed to give some good results.
