I keep getting a "NullReferenceExeption was unhandled" with "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." written under it. I have all of the images (png) correct with names and added to references.

protected override void LoadContent()
{
spriteBatch = new SpriteBatch(GraphicsDevice);

backGround = Content.Load("Cracked");

player1.playerBlock = Content.Load("square");

player2.playerBlock = Content.Load("square2"); }

In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More

I’ve written quite a bit about Visual FoxPro interoperating with .NET in the past both for ASP.NET interacting with Visual FoxPro COM objects as well as Visual FoxPro calling into .NET code via COM Interop. COM Interop with Visual FoxPro has a number of problems but one of them at least got a lot… >>> More

I'm a software engineer that's new to game programming so forgive me if this is a dumb question as I don't know that much about game engines.
