Well what you did 2 years ago in Java wasn't Java, because that's not how Java works.

Corona SDK allows android application development with Lua. It's free but you can get a few extra features when you pay.

I made a snake game with Lua and I can play it on my LG G3.

So Java = JavaScript - Script?
I think I'm getting it

But actually though, LÖVE 2D is a pretty good starting point if you want to make games outside of ROBLOX and know Lua already.

Python is very similar, you could pick it up easily.

After that, I'd recommend something like C#, then C++ or Java - those two are really similar syntactically, but C++ is slightly faster than Java. You could throw in C too, as C++ will run C code.

~Upload code to codepad-dot-org with Lua syntax highlighting to preserve indentation and make it easier to read!~So

iiEssence beat me to it.

Lua is the closest. Alternatively, extensions would be LOVE2D's Lua, or Polycode's Lua.
