File reading/writing
I've looked at multiple sources and everyone is saying different stuff. Which one should I be using? FileWriter/FileReader, other people was saying PrintWriter, and one even said : "Formatter" which is the one I'm doubting mostly. My purposes for writing files is for like saving maps, saving high scores, etc. Which one should I be using?

Re: File reading/writing
Really depends on what you want to do.
Do you want to read serialized java objects? There is a writer and reader for that, the ObjectOutputStream / ObjectInputStream.
Do you want to read primitive data? (int, double, etc) There are classes for that, DataOutputStream / DataInputStream.
It really depends. Just find out what you want to do, and then find out which Stream class you need.
