http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_programming_language :
Or in short java isn’t a tool for making games. It’s a programming language. That means you have to do stuff like write code (with a text editor) and compiling it (with a compiler). It’s hard but interesting work.
If you’re good at it you can write a tiny game within hours. A shareware quality game takes 1-9 months… or even more. And a big mind blowing game needs a team of up to 100 people and 3-5 years… or generally spoken - twice your lifetime
If you’ve never used a programming language before (and it looks like that), you’ll need at least 6-9 months until you can start writing a proper tetris.
Well, maybe it’s better if you just try one of those game cration tools or something like BlitzBasic
[quote]If programming is not your forte then I’d recommend you get hold of Games Factory from Click Team and pick up a copy of “Awesome Game Creation : No Programming Required” from Charles River Media.
There is also “3D Game Creation : No Programming Required” that covers 3D games using Jamagic.
