What graphics engine should I use? I'm still learning Java, so I do not want to make 3D stuff yet. ~Atheist, dutch, canadian, programmer, "markuper"

Just use the built in 2D library the Java offers. They are pretty good, I built a 3D Renderer from scratch using them...

What is it called? :/ I'm going to learn as I go, but I want to make a game that works on my site without download, and a downloadable one, both being portable and Java seems the best language to use. ~Atheist, dutch, canadian, programmer, "markuper"

If you want to learn Java, then I recommend using the Java website: htt p:// docs.oracle.c om/java se/tuto rial/ja va/ If you want to learn Java 2D, or Java 2D Game programming: htt p:// zetco de.c om/ That website also has other tutorials for other languages.

If you want a 3d one premade, try out LWJGL. "Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one. -Bill Gates"

LWJGL is nice, but if you are only doing simple stuff the inbuilt one is good, too. -Because I can-

Just learn how to use the build-in graphics API. If you want to use OpenGL or (not suggesting that you're interested in 3D, but most non-trivial 2D stuff is made with OpenGL or DirectX too (Or Flash)) then you might as well use C++, or C# with DirectX because using OpenGL in Java is dodgy at best.
