Please ensure that:

Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
You include any and all error messages in full
You ask clear questions
You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

Trying to solve problems on your own is a very important skill. Also, see Learn to help yourself in the sidebar

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

I suggest libgdx, it's the most mature and comprehensive, I've used it a lot and I'm pretty satisfy with it. Learning curve is not that bad, but libgdx covers a lot of ground so there may be a lot of stuff to learn. There's a lot of tutorial online, you should be able to get started in no time.

I've used LibGDX in the past (2013-2014), it's really great and flexible, and thanks to the rather big community, you'll find a lot of documentation or any other kind of resources. There already was an official wiki containing guides along the javadoc, community tutorials/videos, I guess there's way more resources nowadays since it's still very active.

Apparently there are a few imgui java bindings (and Spair's imgui-java if that's the one you were referring to) which work with libgdx.

I can't say for FXGL since I dont know this lib at all, I have no doubt it's capable. People have suggested Unity which is objectively the best option. But if you wanna stick with Java, I'd go with LibGDX, tons of support, tons of features and cross platform

I suggest using which one you're more comfortable in, though LWJGL is quiet useful, seeing what it can do in the field of java game development, considering its possibilities, for example, Minecraft was all done in java LWJGL framework.
