debug crashes when entering a new phase

Hello, I'm redesigning a simple side shooter game from a templet. I'm trying to introduce different phases. I am able to have the first phase transition into a boss phase. However when it is time to transition into the next phase, the program crashes. Any advice or help would be very appreciated.

You should look up, certainly what Edgar has mentioned, and also Scene Management.

Pertaining to the problem at hand though:

if(boss[1].health....

Are you sure you intended to check the SECOND element in the array here? remember arrays start at 0 eg: boss[0] would be the first boss.

thank you both, I'm relatively new to programming, but your advice helped out a lot. I appreciate it :)
