This is error is new to me.
This is how I load my images.
background = ImageIO.read(this.getClass().getResource("res/bg.png"));
I would really appreciate an answer since I have to send it to my teacher in 3 hours 
Have you checked, double checked and checked again your path so it´s correct? 
If you´re using Eclipse, have you “refreshed”? Sometimes refresh doesn´t work for me so at times I´ve had to open up the .png file (in the project folder in Eclipse) in a text editor, type a character and remove it so I can save the file again. That can help…
I will try the “add and remove character” ^^
EDIT: Couldnt do it, some character ecoding problems…
Checked the build path and it’s fine.
Well, considering that it’s telling you that the input to ImageIO.read() is null, then this.getClass().getResource(“res/bg.png”) must be the problem.
look at these:
Thank you very much!
Moving my images from the res folder and directly into the src folder worked
