    No more difficult than making a game in any other language, I should assume. All you need is a working knowledge of the language (which I assume you have having reached third year), and an idea of how the game should be structured to work.

    Your grossly over using the term simple there, a simple game would be space invaders where no AI as such is needed. Now a RPG is generally going to need a certain amount of AI to make it playable and that is where problems normally arise.

    Java is IMO the best language to work with on this sort of thing, if it's a 2D game your aiming for then it should be easy enough to get a prototype running in a short space of time, especially if you've worked with Java before.

    Is it not a bit late on in the year to be just "thinking" about your project?
