Depending on the type of games you plan on doing, you might want to learn
C++ instead. Java and C++ are both object oriented (well actually Java
imposes object oriented design and C++ is a hybrid free-form language
allowing you to write anyway you please) C++ yields faster code and is what
all the commercial people use.

Has anyone read either of these books:

1. Java game programming for Dummies
2. The Black Art of java game programming

I need to know because I have to get my Christmas list ready. Heh,heh.
Seriously, though. I plan to learn java soon after I finish this Qbasic book
and a few tutorials. I have "Teach yourself java in 21 days" here at home so
I plan to learn java with that, but I need a good game programming book for
it. I plan to make a free mpog over the net and make an extended version for
it(more bosses, a deeper storyline,tons more quests, additional weapons,
etc.) for retail. I appreciate all replies. Thanks.
