You're going to know basic AWT to do this.

This website: http://www.kilobolt.com/
has a lot of great help on it.

I hate to say it, but if you've only done a little bit of java, it will be hard to make a game.
Although, with that being said, to make a basic game you pretty much just need to know how to draw things and get key input.

There are lots of tutorials on youtube that will help a lot

You need to think about the kind of game you wanna make, I recommend a 2d platformer. Then you gotta decide: are you gonna use a lib or not? like lwjgl, slick2d etc. or if you're just gonna use swing with the draw() function using Graphics2D.

Then you need to learn about things like:
threads
the game loop
rendering
drawing
etc.

It's pretty difficult too, good luck.

Ah..you should have stated that. I was thinking that you're just another kid who wants to make the next Runescape/Minecraft.
If you'd like to make a guessing game which implements picking numbers, you can use math.random or the random class to pick a random number and until the user doesn't type the number in, loop and scan for input.

Ok lol no im not a kid trying to make minecraft or anything like that im just an 18 year old that wants to learn considering that im taking a class on c++ and thought i might want to try java to see if i like working with coding.

Won't be easy to make a Java based game with the little knowledge you're saying you have.

You need to know your strings, inputs, and methods. If you have enough knowledge there, the rest is preferably easy.

I don't recommend making a Java game yet however if you are really determined http://www.kilobolt.com/ is good site. It teaches the necessary things in Java to make a game.
