Some questions

[ahmedkl]

Hello people i am new to these forums and so to the java game development world . I am good at C++ and currently studying Java course in my university and know all the OO concepts so it wont be difficult for me to start game development . I want to make a game like "WORMS" but don't know where to start and which engine to use and how to use ? can anyone please give answers to my questions ?

I suggest you start by writing a good design document.

I personally just use java2d but if you want to use an engine there are a few that always get recommended here.
for 3d:
jmonkey engine
for 2d:
pulp core
slick

Coming from c++ you might prefer a ported version of whatever engine you used with it, like jOgre or jirr.

I think i should be using a 2d engine cause i really don't want a 3d game , anyways how can i set the pulp core engine up on my system?

Have a look at Worms4k or something like this.
