[JAVA] Text-Game

[punx]

I've just started a JAVA class in school, and was wondering if JAVA was any good for programming text-games. Or if I should stick with C++. I know JAVA is a little slower... But has anyone here coded a text-game in JAVA? Thanks for any advice.

Of course you can code a text based game. C++ is more used for direct access to graphical memory when developing games. If it's a text game you won't need to do this. I'm sure Java will be just fine :) But you could code it in either language
