Does anyone know where some java tutorials that will help a beginner Java Programmer learn to program games?

I like an old book -- ';The Black Art of Java Game Programming';. This is java before Java2 / Swing, but still relevant. Games is how I got started with BASIC on the Apple IIe. Games helps you seek how to make Objects. Writing games takes logic and modularity. The first 5 chapters of ';The Black Art'; will boost your java learning curve and get you drawing graphics on the screen.





I've seen ';The Black Art'; in used bookstores for as little as $8.





After that, google -- java: games programs. Many sites out there with example code.Does anyone know where some java tutorials that will help a beginner Java Programmer learn to program games?
First you have to learn programming. then you have to learn game programming.





THEN you can learn java and start to program in games.





You don't learn programming by learning a language, all that teaches you is a language that you can't use, because you don't know how to use it. It's like learning ';screwdriver'; without learning that screws have to be screwed in. You have knowledge of a tool, but no knowledge of the process the tool is designed to facilitate.
