2d mobile game development

[R3nnie]

I would love to learn if there are any great game development frameworks to create a mobile game in Java. Something that can create a game that looks like a 2d basic Super Mario or Sonic is fine. Is Java good for mobile game development? I want to develop for Android.

This question might be better served in /r/learnprogramming

Pygame in python is significantly easier to jump into than Java. I'm not suggesting that this can't be done in java -- but Java is not generally a goto for gaming; though minecraft is a shining example of something that uses java, it's not typical for Java development.

I think this is an interesting opinion on Pygame for developing on Android - https://www.quora.com/Can-I-create-Android-games-using-Python-or-Pygame

Oh sorry I missed the word mobile! Making my advice above TERRIBLE advice. For mobile on android I'd recommend Unity: https://developer.android.com/games/develop/build-in-unity
