New to Game programming
Hello
I have been programming in java for a while now....i'v worked a little with applet..but i'v been much into Swing.
I want to dive into Java Game programming. I looked online and there are lot of Java Gaming tutorials...can some people suggest me which ones are good? Or maybe some one has learned a lot from a tutorial...please give me the link.
Right now im just looking to make a small simple game....
thanks
okay then, i'd look at the Java2D demos that come with the JDK
all the source code is provided and you will learn a lot there
if you want to go 3D, that's another story, try this if you want to get more serious:

if your making any sort of action game forget about swing and learn about java2d and basic awt. If your making anything 3d take note that the java3d package doesn't come with the JRE or SDK download and is windows only, which may limit the portability of your game if you plan on using
