Hello guys, i need your help, i'm doing an allegro player (to move it with keyboard arrows) but i can't, i don't know why... (My platform is Xcode, for dudes) I attached the error to the post.

This is my code:

Sorry but my platform is XCode, for chicks.

I said something weird? I think I misspoke (I don't speak english very well as you can see xD). And... What you refer with "for chicks" ??

You wrote Xcode for dudes (a casual word for men) and, not sure what you meant by that, people are jokingly using the word "chicks" (the equivalent casual word for women).

This kind of crash is a called a "null pointer dereferencing"
See in the bottom window, "bitmap = (ALLEGRO_BITMAP *) null"
The line of code which crashes tries to do ->w and ->h on something which is null - it will always crash.

The left column shows you the call stack : which function calls which other.
al_draw_tinted_bitmap() which crashed, was called by al_draw_bitmap, which was called by al_mangled_main() - this one is your own "main" function, Allegro renames it internally.
Ideally, When clicking "2 :: _al_mangled_main", in XCode, it should show you exactly which line of your code called allegro's function with a null bitmap.
In this case, it's easy anyway because your code has only one call to al_draw_bitmap().
You pass the bitmap "player", so look up how you initialized it :

 ALLEGRO_BITMAP * player = NULL;
player = al_load_bitmap("/Users/matias/Desktop/Matías/C++/Programas/AllegroFiles/Tutorial/Allegro_Keyboard/Allegro_Keyboard/player.png");
al_init_image_addon();

Here I'm pretty sure that you should call al_init_image_addon() first, because it "plugs" the decoding functions for many file formats, like PNG.
For safety, after loading "player" image, you should still check if it's null, and if it is, stop the program.

Ahahahaha, is an english expression, i didn't understand :'c

And... Thanks men, you saved me, i didn't realize that allegro_init_image_addon(); was under my bitmap hahah

"dudes" and "chicks" are very informal words. You don't ever hear them outside of pop culture. If you have ever heard the words "bro" or "homies" it's similar.

Ahhh, homies sounds like Homer hahaha...
Also, can i do you a question? I solve my first problem, but I have other (I want to create a RPG player. My console is Xcode, for chicks)
