I have had experience in qbasic, C, C++, Pascal, VHDL, Spim simulator assembly language, Scheme, and Java. Right now I only know Java and Scheme.

I'm not asking about how long it takes to learn principles of programming. I mean, let's say I want to write a simple 2-d multiplayer arcade game in Java. How long would it take to learn to do that given that I already know Java syntax? Is this a one month, one week, or one day deal (not including the time required to actually write the game, only including the time required to learn what classes and functions to use)? What's the best way to go at it? (Not that I mean a game specifically, I'm just using that as an example)
