I made the mainBall object based on my MainBall class and put mainBall.paintMainBall(g) in my paint method and now it gives me another error:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-1" java.lang.NullPointerException
at game.paint(game.java:251)
at game.update(game.java:227)

so its where i put the mainBall.paintMainBall(g) but the compiler doesnt see anything wrong with it

herpderp i forgot to create the object

MainBall mainBall = new MainBall(x, y, width, height);

that worked fine, but now it wont move. good lord this is frusterating

fixed it so that the coordinates of the mainBall change when i press the keys but it isnt being redrawn so the ball stays in one spot. almost!!!!
