How to start programming a game in java?

Java 2D Platforming game?

  • Answer:

    The minimum you need is the JRE (which you already have, if you can run Java content at all) and the JDK (which you probably don't have, but it can be acquired for free from the official Java site). Sooner or later you'll probably also want an IDE. I use Eclipse, but there are some others out there and you may want to use one that is less complicated than Eclipse. Keep in mind that you won't be writing graphical platformer games right off the bat. It takes a while to get to the point where you understand enough to do that. It's harder than it looks.
