I was thinking about something brand new. But Hmmm, It would be a pretty cool project to remake endless written in java. Then I could release it, and people could make servers easier. :D

This should get a -1 for language and unnecessary posting.
You have broke rule 2 and 3
1. Global Rules
- Do not type "lol liek u do dis way" - this is a public forum, not a message to your friends on MSN.
- Try to be helpful to everyone.
- Do not harass any other users for any reason.

All of you are unnecessarily posting...
On topic! Suggestion for a Java game? Don't use Java. Not unless you want your game to be run as an applet in a web browser...
If you want to develop a game (easy mode), I would suggest using C# since the language is essentially the same as Java. It's better for game development and would be a great place to start, especially since there's a simple game engine solution you could use that has already been made (XNA).
If you want to develop a game (less easy mode), I would suggest C++ with Allegro (I haven't used Allegro but I've heard good things).

Re: Side Work *New 2D Game*
Allegro is a good library that allows use of DirectX, OpenGL or Software rendering. Built in sound, image and font library's. And can also read files from *.zip archives even if the extension has been
changed.
Game Idea's. Since you are new to making games I'd suggest you start of with a simple game like Naught's and Crosses. Even I started with a Picture Puzzle using SDL. Can be downloaded from the SDL site too
:P
