What programmes/engines work best for a beginner java user? (If there are any)

[blissful rain]

lightweight java game library, libgdx, jmonkey are all for making games in java. i don't recommend using java for making games though.

yeah, its just the thing we learn in school and the one i actually understand

i mean given your profile picture you could probably spend some time learning how games function with minecraft modding if you haven't tried it already

C# and Java are also very very similar so you could slowly transition yourself into learning C# and move to something like Unity or Godot.

Ive tried some modding too but generally wanted to avoid other languages in case if could harm my grade because i mix things up

[sullen prism]

i just meant in your own time

not for school

[blissful rain]

i've learned java at my high school too and i'll just say it's not worth it to work in it

learning more languages won't hurt, it'll just make it more easier to understand the concepts of programming and probably do better

my country's public school system is disgusting

for programming, we learn scratch till 9th grade, then we learn pascal

like who tf even uses pascal
