A excellent book for programmers of all ability. It let me ramke my favorrite games from the 80's
excellent book but obviously very old (Java 1.0)

I think it's an excellent book, however it's about Java 1.0. Also, it assumes you know nothing about both Java programming and game design in general -- so it is less useful for people with any experience in either.
TY, Java Game Programming, a good starter book, fun to use

While I am still only in week one, I tend to have too many books going at once, I have learned from and enjoyed reading this book so far. The code is easy to follow, the samples are easy to modify as directed in the exercises. I do know and use C++, but most C/C++ games books focus so much on infrastructure for dealing with image data that the core of game programming, simulation of another world, gets lost. Java is a great way to cut through all the mist enshrouding gaming that is caused by managing and displaying image data. While a heavy duty game may require C/C++, with this book and Java you can get a great, hands-on start in gaming, a Java work out, and the added bonus of multi-user gaming via Java networking classes. The one thing I would add to this book is a section on sprite development. This task is an art that needs some tips for the low end developer who doesn't have cash for artists. Also, I think the book could use a section on tile based scrolling of game backgrounds since that would allow low cost transmission of large worlds. Still, its a great start so far, and my peeks ahead seem to confirm this feeling
