I was going to do something multi-player using java and kryonet. I had planned on using lwjgl and slick2d. However, since the theme is “10 seconds”, I’m going to save my multi-player fun for a later project and delve into a platformer idea that should be interesting. I’ve noticed that web games get the most ratings (whether they are good or bad) and I want to make my game as accessible as possible, so a web version is necessary. I was going to try using an applet in java. I also thought about just going back to game maker as it makes it easy to convert to make an HTML5 version, even though there are usually some bugs that you have to work through to make it work correctly. For instance, the path functions on GM seem to not work at all in HTML5.

So, I’m going with a library I’ve never used before in Java, libgdx. Hopefully I can learn it as I go and make something that at least functions. Wish me luck!
