private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public static int width = 300;
public static int height = width / 16 * 9;
public static int scale = 3;

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

There is a variable or value with a null value on line 52. Look at line 52 in the your source and see what variable is null. Then backtrack in the code to see why that variable does not have a valid value.
If you can not tell which variable it is, add a println just before line 52 and print out the values of all the variables on that line.

Please edit your post and wrap your code with
[code=java]
<YOUR CODE HERE>
[/code]
to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

on line 52 the code sets the location of the jframe window to null aka centre-screen so i changed it to (0,0) thankyou now its working,THanks!

There is a method that will center a JFrame when given a null arg. Check the API doc.

yes you have made the mistake on this line

gMain.window.setLocation(null);

your code set the null location. So you have got the null pointer exception

you set any values in location like this

gMain.window.setLocation(300, 200);

And you refer this link: JFrame: setLocation(int x, int y) : JFramejavax.swingJava by API
