Question

Hi, im really new to java and wanted to learn. But before i go further more, i want to know Is it good to use java for android games?

Thanks for your answer :))

Answer 1

If u want to use java to make 2d games u can use libgdx framework in android studio. With the help of libgdx you can easily make cross platform apps. But if you are starting from scratch unity is a good option for 2d game development. Unity requires C# which is similar to java.So choice is yours you can use libgdx or unity.

Answer 2

As @Selena said, C# is not that hard to learn if you already know Java. So keep learning more, you'll be making awesome games in no time at all😉☺

Answer 3

Answer 9

I always hear about C# or javascript for 2d games; but nothing about java. There are options securely. I recommend Construct2 for 2d games. It is very interesting and all works with javascript.

Thank you all. I want to make apps too. I am at level 3 at Java. Wish me luck

Answer 11

For android it is better to code in java, with other languages you will have some limitation, full screen, immersive mode, and some other api are just available in java.

The easiest way to code 2d games is using canvas in java, you can code a game like pong in less then one houer and the code will need just ~50 lines

Answer 12

c++ is better

Answer 13

Java is really good but you have to learn beyond sololearn

Answer 14

Answer 16

for game development I prefer C# not JavaScript (my opinion)

Answer 17

Unity uses C++. But it is stillvquite good to learn how to make games.
And don't underestimate some languages! Some libraries have enough potential to make games.

Answer 18

use unity for Android game development but first a little bit of C# is required but it's easy if you know java
