Really made a great8 content sir, sharing your experience and giving /enlightening path to other is really a holy work, you are very great8 soul sir. all the very best.
The code for a Java game (e.g. one built with libGDX) is going to be completely different. All of the assets and design work should come over to any game engine, including Unity.
Random question, but where you self taught or did you get a degree for software development? I am currently debating between an associates degree in Game Development or Computer Science, would like to hear your thoughts!
I started coding when I was 10, started making money building apps for folks when I was 16, back in the late 80s/early 90s. I took some CS classes in school but tbh I was just as often explaining things to my teachers (I was already doing Mac OS dev & a bit of 68K assembly back then). So... things were different back then, both for me and the rest of the world. TBH I would say that a CS degree is going to be vastly more useful than game development. Game development is insanely saturated and if you can possibly do CS that will be far more helpful. Doesn't mean that you shouldn't do game dev for fun and as a way to learn but I would personally absolutely not do that as a degree program.
Hi Will, I have a desktop application which is built using simple Java Swings and core java. I was looking to do something cheaky because swing as an UI does not offer a lots of choices in terms of rendering. I want to do something like use Unity as a FrontEnd and Java as a backend. Is it possible as per your experience with unity, like if I make use of RestAPIs?
Yes - you can use any UI framework (Swing or Unity) as the front-end and then call a REST service. Make sure that you keep the requests off the main thread, however, or else the UI will appear to lock up. With Unity, the easiest way to do this is to use this library - github.com/Cysharp/UniTask - to handle the async requests. One of the very first examples on the page is showing how to fetch data from the web. Good luck!

Really cool intro from a Java developer POV. Thank you!
I love the video.
I was wondering can i convert a game written in JAVA into UNITY, by using their API or converting code to C#? Thanks

I know but didn't seem worth reshooting that section just to see my twinkling eyes. :)
