You would NOT necessarily be better off using C++ to create your game. Especially since you are a beginner, I wouldn't even consider C++, because it is much more difficult to program in than Java. Java does a lot of system background things that you have to code yourself in C++. I doubt there's anything you would want to do in your game that you couldn't do in Java.
