Comment on: I'm working on a DnD styled game/challenge to see how close I can get to the DnD experience. Was curious if anyone had any recommendations on what language/software to use.

Do you know what object oriented programming is and why it is called that? Imperative? Declarative? Procedural?
How much underlying computer theory are you familiar with and why did you choose Java?
Assuming you approached it from the language and are lacking some of the underlying fundamentals (I had this problem with self teaching) I would recommend this wikiversity page and especially ch 6-8 regarding my above question.
Comment on: Come up with the most inefficient, poorly written, and complex way to print out "Hello World!".
Create a hash table for ascii values to voltage read from a photodiode sensor, re-arrange the table based on east/west gps coordinates and select an entry based on n/s coordinates. travel to a location that has the proper light conditions and gps coordinates to print 'H' repeat until "Hello world!" is printed. Assuming this is all on a microcontroller you need to write the program itself as well as drivers for photodiode, lcd display and GPS.
I come from robotics, what is this 'UI' everyone keeps jabbering about?

you win, here have 1 internet
Is it just for fun or do you want to publish it? if it's for yourself just use what you can run and know well, e.g. a little java program. If you want to publish it I would work with c family in .net as this will give you the best real world result and experience.
