I suggest googling for tutorials. Pretty narrow topic for jsp.

Never done java game development so I can't comment on it. Seems a little odd you wanna do it in java imo.

I am. Just helps too say it here too.

I kind of want to use slick2d because im a noob. Idk if that helps or makes it harder.

Slick2D + lwjgl

no1?

I still need some help D:

This isn't the trade forum. There's no reason to bump after a few hours.

If you would like any other help with java, i would be glad to tutor you. I don't charge a penny, absolutely free. I am an expert award by University of Waterloo (x86 assembly-coder). I have many years of experience with java, C++, Perl, OpenGl, Brainfuck, and even PL/I

Would you consider it?

Try Java-Gaming forums instead.

I hope you know how to program.

I made my first game for a school project. Took about 2 weeks. Its some kind of space invader. The enemy is controlled by a Bot which is on a TCP server. Was a requirement lol.

I only used LWJGL for the Audio. Made the rest from scratch.
Its doable but do the OpenGL tutorials for LWJGL first. RTS is not the easiest to start with tho.

hey I am out for the summer and looking to code something for the fun of it. I am rather novice myself but if you want to work on this a little bit with someone else let me know I am more than willing to give it a go. I have coded some basic swing games like tic tac toe paper rock scissors and made a very close to functional swing based text rpg.

edit* by very close I mean I just gave up on it a few months ago because I did not have free time.
