Where should I start?

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

So, just after finishing college I landed the dream job as a game developer ;D

I have some experience with J2SE/J2EE, but I haven’t programmed games before. My question is - where should I start looking , and what do I need to learn? In what ways does game programming differ from “normal” programming?

Tnx in advance :wink:

If you want to do nice graphics, possibly 3d, you should try to learn openGL. Use jogl or LWJGL libraries to access openGL from java. These are excellent tutorials on open3g:
