Since the conversation has slowly moved it's way to programming, I'd just like to drop in here and suggest PyGame. It's an add-on library for Python (previously mentioned by MIDI) which is just about as easy as game programming can get. It already comes pre-packaged with the basics such as window rendering, an FPS clock and hitbox detection, so getting a simple engine up and working really only takes about an hour, depending on how much programming experience you have.

Not to mention, Python's an incredibly straightforward language built for learners. Hello World is just print("Hello, World!") and everything is interpreted in line breaks and indents. No crazy punctuation or public static void main(String args[]) whatsit nonsense. So if you can actually get an engine running in Java, Python should be a piece of cake for you.
