I know the basics of java from thenewboston, but his game development tutorial is unfinished. I have tried others such as eddie vanhalen's tutorials with libgdx, I couldn't get it to install. I tried other tutorials on youtube but I couldn't find any that I could understand. Do you have any suggestions? Please I'm absolutely desperate. Ever since I was a kid I wanted to learn how to program games and I don't want to have come this far just to run into another wall. Thank you to any that answer.

i want a book for java game programing too if you found one please let me know..but if you want to learn java programing the best book i found is "Head first java" is an excellent book it explains very well you just need to found another book to for the exercise that helps you a lot for practicing..I am learning from that book so for when i want to start whit game programing i will know what im doing because most game programing books assume that you know how to program.. but one excelent book for gme programing that i found is "Game design whit actionScript 3" is for actionscript and flash but i think is a excelent one

{
import flash.display.Sprite;

[SWF(width="550", height="400", backgroundColor="#FFFFFF", frameRate="60")]

public class EJ_MonsterMayhem extends Sprite
{
private var _nivelUno:NivelUno;

public function EJ_MonsterMayhem()
{
_nivelUno = new NivelUno(stage);
stage.addChild(_nivelUno)
}
}
}

//and this is the _nivelUno class
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.ui.Keyboard;

public class NivelUno extends Sprite
{
private var _background:Background = new Background();
private var _personaje:Personaje = new Personaje();
private var _monstruo:Monstruo = new Monstruo();

public var _stage:Stage = new Stage()

public function NivelUno(stage:Object)
{
_stage = stage;
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, addedToStageHandler);
}

private function addedToStageHandler(event:Event):void
{
this.addChild(_background);
this.addChild(_personaje);
setUpEventListeners();
this.removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, addedToStageHandler);
}

private function setUpEventListeners():void
{
_stage.addEventListner(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler);
_stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyUpHandler);

//para mi que este event no se agrega al stage xq hace cosas diferentes en otra clase
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler);
}

private function enterFrameHandler(event:Event):void
{
_personaje.x += _personaje.vx;
_personaje.y += _personaje.vy;
}

private function keyDownHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.UP)
{
_personaje.vy = -5
}
else if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.DOWN)
{
_personaje.vy = 5
}

if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.LEFT)
{
_personaje.vx = -5
}
else if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.RIGHT)
{
_personaje.vx = 5
}
}
