I'm learning java, and now I'm creating a simple program for educational purposes. I am creating a 2D Game Engine(It will support 3D once I finish it) and its going to be a Java Applet so you can create your game online. The game engine is going to use its own Language Syntax, I know there are hundreds of game engines that use their own language... but I'm going to make mine unique and a lot simpler.

TL;DR -> Anyone have any ideas to make the Game Commands Simpler? I want it to be as easy as possible.

Code:
checkinit(); - Checks to see if the game engine has started
createtimer(TIMER_NAME, TICK_RATE, COMMANDS);
default(); - Sets all engine properties to default
drawline(VAR,X1,Y1,X2,Y2);
drawrectangle(VAR,X,Y,WIDTH,HEIGHT);
editline(VAR,X1,Y1,X2,Y2); -edits line, supports +#,-#,++,--,*#,/# Operators
editrectangle(VAR,X,Y,WIDTH,HEIGHT); -edits rectangle, supports +#,-#,++,--,*#,/# Operators
init(); - Starts the engine
lockscreen(BOOLEAN); - Prevents screen resize
renamevariable(OLDVAR,NEWVAR);
runGraphics(); - Starts the Engine Graphics System(Must be called before any drawing).
setgrid(X,Y); - Sets the extra +X & +Y to each drawing object
setscreensize(RES,HEIGHT,WIDTH);
settitle(TEXT);
setvariable(VAR,VAL);
setvisible(BOOLEAN); - Sets window visiblity

Thats why I'm making an engine thats 100% Modifiable, so the user can change everything and add new things.

You didn't read the article. The punchline is that you should not make a game engine without first making a few games, as you have no idea what the requirements are.

I've already made some games before, but in different languages.

I'll just add precise collision checking, variables, and custom events.
