All of good video game devs must doing CODE along with doing ART parts to them to make the actual video games. I recommend learning CODE like c++ and lua to be these more serious video game devs at all. >=)

Angry Birds actually use Box2D engine and coded the game in C++/Objective C but likely with a Java wrapper for Android, but you can try those lua game engine for 2d games only. =/

Stick to c++ mostly or lua and not waste time in other less powerful programming languages. Keep it simple and make the minimum viable product (MVP). >=)
