So I've been through a Java intro class recently and I still have about 3 more courses related to Java in the near future. I figured I'd start to learn about writing games with it since I'll be using it for coursework for awhile still.
I've looked around and there are quite a few tutorials out there, as well as video series but many of them are 'one offs' or incomplete series that were never finished by the author. Many books are also fully abstract or C++ / C# and while I understand the core concepts can be carried over to Java I'd much rather read something with Java specifically in mind.
So onto the primary question again. Would anyone be able inform me of some excellent game development books / complete tutorials or video series that I can check out while in this learning endeavor? My primary interest currently is strictly 2D, but I may venture into 3D programming in the future.
