                obst.draw(g);
            }
        }
    }
}

The error comes out only when I call the draw method of the Obstacle class

Obstacle Class:

  import java.awt.Graphics;
  import java.awt.Color;
  import java.awt.Polygon;

 // Clase Obstacle Hereda atributos de la Clase Entity
 public class Obstacle extends Entity {

      private MyPolygon p;

      // Método Constructor Obstacle
      public Obstacle (Vec2D p, World wi) {
          super (p, wi);  
          MyPolygon p1 = new MyPolygon();
          p1.randomPolygon();
          p1.center();
          p1.translate((int)pos.getX(), (int)pos.getY());
      }

     // Getter Obstacle
     public MyPolygon getObstacle() {
          return p;
      }   

     public void draw(Graphics g) {
         if(bCollides)g.setColor(Color.RED);
         else         g.setColor(Color.ORANGE);
         g.drawPolygon(p);
     }
}

I'm newbie in Java, but I have a feeling it has to do with the fact that some value is not initialized properly in the Obstacle class ... can it be?

Thank you all.

Start at Obstacle.draw(Obstacle.java:28). The likely issue is that p is null. — Makoto

change this to

private MyPolygon p = new MyPolygon();

private MyPolygon p; is not initialized in your Obstacle.java

Change

 public Obstacle (Vec2D p, World wi) {
      super (p, wi);  
      MyPolygon p1 = new MyPolygon();
      p1.randomPolygon();
      p1.center();
      p1.translate((int)pos.getX(), (int)pos.getY());
  }

to

 public Obstacle (Vec2D v, World wi) {
      super (v, wi);  
      p = new MyPolygon();
      p.randomPolygon();
      p.center();
      p.translate((int)pos.getX(), (int)pos.getY());
  }
