I'm writing a test code for a poker game which assigns each image of a card to a space in a 2d array.

I wrote it so the rows are the cards and the columns are the suits.

Hearts = 0, Diamonds = 1, Spades = 2, Clubs = 3 and then Ace to King going from 0-12.

An example would be 10 of Spades would be [9][2]. And the file name would be 92.jpg

I don't know why my code isn't working.

I followed my work template except changed it from 1d to a 2d array.
Right now the following line is throwing a NullPointerException:

card[i][j] = tk.getImage(url);

But something tells me that's not the only thing wrong...

Can someone help me? Thanks!

The source code:

import javax.swing.*;

import java.awt.*;

import java.awt.event.*;

import java.net.URL;



public class GameTemplate extends JPanel {



    static Image card = new Image [13][4];



public static void main (String args) {



    Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();



    // HEARTS: 0

    //DIAMONDS: 1

    //SPADES: 2

    //CLUBS: 3



    // ACES: 0 TWOS: 1 THREES: 2 FOURS: 3 FIVES: 4 SIXES: 5 SEVENS: 6 EIGHTS: 7 NINES: 8 TENS: 9 JACKS: 10 QUEENS: 11 KINGS: 12



    int name = new int [13][4]; 



    for (int i = 0; i < 13; i++) {

        for (int j = 0; j < 4; j++) {

            URL url = GameTemplate.class.getResource(name[i][j] + ".jpg"); // Loads card images into game

            card[i][j] = tk.getImage(url); // assigns card images to the array

        }

    }



    GameTemplate run = new GameTemplate ();

        run.image(args);

}



public void image(Graphics g) {

  for (int i=0; i < 13; i++) {

        for (int j = 0; j < 4; j++) {

            g.drawImage(card[i][j], i*194, j*50, this);  // display the image

                }

            } 



    }

}
