Does anyone know of any game engines that uses C/C++ as a scripting language?

It doesn't matter if it's 2D or 3D.

I recommend visiting wikipedia for such a question.

SimpleC is probably as far as "scripting" goes with any C since it's not a scripting language to begin with.

If you want something close to C++ as a scripting language check out Squirrel:
http://www.squirrel-lang.org/

Squirrel is developed by a single person which doesn't really release updates often and his site/forums are fairly dead. The language works but the support and community is close to non-existent. I've only seen one game use this language so far, which used it for its launcher.

Most applications / games that include scripting use Lua though:
http://www.lua.org/

Which has a vast community, tons of support (forums, mailing list, tons of examples online etc.).

Well, there's panda3d
It's not really using c/c++ as a scripting language (it prefers python for that) but you can build and control it completely from C/C++

It's pretty easy to use. A shame I suck at 3d modeling and sound effects else I could have made something nice with it

agree with the panda3d thingie, I use it for years - awesome thing! Explaining it would contain too much superlatives so to sum it up - it's the best thing in the world.

Next is shiva3d which is awesome for multiplatform but it uses lua(shame) and it's slower then panda3d.

For modelling use sketchup and sculptris - with it ANYONE can do it. For real-life objects sign up for videotrace by punchcard beta.
