First to give some background on myself. I have a heavy background of Java application development, both client-side and web apps, and I have a little experience with Python.
I'd like to tinker around with creating games, and I'm looking for some recommendations on how to go about doing that. I know there are some Java libraries along these lines (Java2D comes to mind) but the packaging and distribution of Java games seems a little messy and doesn't seem to integrate into the platform being used very well. However I know that with the advent of Android, Java programming has gained more importance.
Whatever games I make I'd like for the focus to be on Linux, but it'd be nice if they were cross-platform too. Any recommendations or guidance on a language or software package or anything?
