I'm working on my first Java Application, a game. What I have now compiles fine, but when I run it in command prompt, command prompt repeatedly prints:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException

And it doesn't start the Application(When I load one less image it eventually stops and it does work).
These are the parts of code, which I think might cause the problem:

double ns = 1000000000/ticks;

while(running){

delta+=(tijd2-tijd)/ns;
tijd=tijd2;
if(delta>1){
player.move();

I am aware that I should be using spritesheets instead of single images and I going to fix it, but I don't think that will solve this problem completely (commenting out all the image loading also doesn't fix it).
I can't find a solution to this anywhere, so it would be great if someone knows how to fix this.
EDIT: I tried some things out and it turns out that the command prompt eventually stops printing this error and starts the application when I only use g.drawImage(image, x, y, null) methods, but it repeats it infinitely when I use a g.drawImage(image, dx1,dy1,dx2,dy2,sx1,sy1,sx2,sy2,null) method.
