While you are waiting for getting help, here are some tips to improve your experience:

Code is much easier to read if posted with syntax highlighting and proper formatting.

If nobody is calling back, that usually means that your question was not well asked and hence nobody feels confident enough answering. Try to use your time to elaborate, provide details, context, more code, examples and maybe some screenshots. With enough info, someone knows the answer for sure.

Don't forget to close your thread using the command </help-thread close:1027500463647621170> when your question has been answered, thanks.

mh java isnt really a popular choice when it comes to games

in particular if u want to expand on that and maybe get a job with it

that said, for 2d, there are some good libs available to give u a headstart

but it can't compare at all to a full game engine like unity

with java u will have to do most of the stuff urself still

for learning, that's not a bad thing

but it will slow u down drastically compared to making a game in a huge engine that provides everything out of the box

so ultimately it depends on ur personal goals for this
