I'm a little lost on what java api to pick for making a 2d platformer. I've found a lot of 3d ones but i don't want to go there. I've looked into the java 2d api which by its name you'd think would do the trick but after reading about it, i don't thinks its meant to tackle games. Is it efficient enough and does it have the right tools to help build a game? Does anyone recommend a better api? I don't want to invest a lot time in learning an api only to find out it sucks.
