I'm trying to create a game application using java and i've downloaded both java studio creator and JDK. However i'm having problems of writing the program. Should i use notepad and compile it using JDK? Or can i simply use the java studio creator and type in my java codings? And i cant seem to type in any codings in the java studio creator.
Can someone help me please? Thank you.

Hello, Burpyjac!
I don't understand what you want to do exactly. If you would like to write an applet for a website maybe Java Studio Creator is not what you want, it's an IDE for developing web applications running in an application server like Glassfisch, SJSAS, Tomcat and the like.
If your game need animation, drawings in a panel and the like you would need another IDE like Netbeans for example to develop an applet. Of course you can just use Notepad, but a IDE like Netbeans is much more comfortable (syntax highlighting, project managment, debugging).
Java Studio Creator is an IDE for web applications and it is based on Netbeans (if you saw both you will notice). If your game can live without graphics maybe you can use it - but be aware that this applications do not run alone, you need an application server.
Cheers,
Jan
