I'm planning to program a simple experiment in hive mind swarm intelligence for fun, I've used Java AWT for a physics engine in the past and it was complete fucking cancer. What does /g/ think of using swing? All I really need to do is have a menu and some sprites moving around. I'm open to using other languages, I just don't know where to start.

If you really want to use Swing, have you considered Java FX?

It's pretty much impossible to tell what you're talking about, but if you're trying to render an animation you probably want a proper graphics library and not a gui toolkit.
If you want something simple to learn on and you're already familiar with java you should look into processing. Punch "processing boids" into your favorite search engine to see simple swarm intelligence examples with code snippets.

That's a pretty ass-backwards thought process OP
