Good Game Development Libraries for Java [closed]

Tags:

I'm going to be taking a class on Java soon, and I'm probably going to have a lot of free time during the class for the first few weeks. I figured that I would mess around with game design in my free time and was wondering if anyone could recommend some Java libraries that are good for game development.

Thanks.

I suggest you take a look at Slick2D. It's an easy-to-use comprehensive 2D game library: a great platform for experimenting with Java.

Since you don't have any experience with Java yet, I would advise you stay clear of low-level libraries such as LWJGL or complex libraries such as JMonkeyEngine.
