ping: Project Ping Demo

Being an avid PC gamer, I'm very interested in learning more about game programming. The programming language that I am the most fluent in is Java. This puts me at a bit of a disadvantage as pretty much all commercial games these days are coded in C++ and Assembly Language. Since I work day to day in Java I really do not want to start playing around in C++ at home as this will really mess me up while at work as most other developers out there can attest to I'm sure. I've come across a decent beginner's tutorial on game development based on the Java language. I hope to really dig in and experiment with this game as a starting point and hope to get working on some of my own very basic games in the near future. Although, being newly married, a recent home owner, and an avid gamer, I really don't have much free time these days.
