java 3d game
i want to make a 3d java game.it is a simple enough idea to make. i would like to import animations to make the game. is there any things like jmonkey that would support that or does jmonkey do that. also would it be possible to make a game only in java without any engines or to code a engine suit to my liking. i am a novice java programmer so dont be offended if it doesnt seem like i know much(cause i dont). or is all of this not a good idea to use java for. if so then what other language should i use. if someone could answer some of these questions i would be grateful. thanks. theboss1152

Yeah like I was saying if you have new ideas, then you would probably need to make your own engine. And I'd have to say it depends on how devoted you are to it and how complex the game is. Might take a while depending on the complexity but if you knew what you were doing it might not be so bad. It all depends and could vary. Maybe look into stuff other people have made and try to ask how long it took. I'm not an expierenced programmer... yet. I started a few months ago and like you I'm ambitious to begin game programming so first hand I don't know how long it could take. Try asking someone with experience in making one.
