    thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
    at acm.program.Program.main(Program.java:917)
    at stanford.karel.Karel.main(Karel.java:202)
    The error message says there is a variable with a null value in your code.

    Did you post the full contents of the stack trace? This does not look like all of it.
    There should be a line in the trace with the name of your program and a method in your code.

    I'm going to move this thread to a more appropriate forum. Please read this: http://www.javaprogrammingforums.com...e-posting.html. You might also want to use a more informative title.

    Also, you really haven't given us enough information to go on. Look at line number 917 in Program.java. Something is null there. Use print statements to figure out what it is. If you still have questions, post an SSCCE (only a few lines, certainly not 917 lines) demonstrating the problem.

    Ugh, please don't post multiple copies of the same question. I've merged your duplicate posts.

    What? How would we know that? I have no idea what a "Karel world" is, and you haven't provided what you've been asked to provide. Please see the link in my signature on asking questions the smart way. If you ask a more specific question, we'll be happy to help you.
