Eclipse suggests Null Pointer exception, though I believe I initialized my object

Question

As the title says I have NPE error. It happens on line:

while (getWidth() > bowl.getX()+10) {

If I remove it, it shows it happens on nex

Answer 1

The line:

GOval bowl = new GOval(10,10);

is declaring a new GOval and hiding the global GOval defined at the bottom.

That line should just be:

bowl = new GOval(10,10);
