Any good Java engines for beginners?

[raw] LD30LD #30 07. Sep 2014 · 10:25 UTC · 16 days after compo start by Qrchack · 0

So, recently I started learning basic console Java, plus developed a few basic Android apps. Now I want to move into real Java desktop games. Can you guys recommend something good? I target 2D games (tried LWJGL but OpenGL stuff is what kills me). I can remember LOVE2D a engine that really suited my style.

Thanks for any help!

For these kinds of questions, you’ll probably get a much better response in the IRC channel.

You might want to try Processing. It’s usually used out of its own (and rather limited) IDE, but you can also just use the processing library in Eclipse!

It depends. Are you begginer programmer, or you’re just new to Java? I’m using libGDX but if you have no experience programming, it could be too much for you.
