Java BounceBall событие мыши

Я работаю с приведенным ниже примером. И у меня есть трудности. Необходимо, чтобы шары уклонились от указателя мыши. Измените направление, когда они найдут указатель.

Я попытался передать в качестве параметра позицию мыши функции "move", но получить ошибку: "Исключение в потоке" Thread-2 "java.lang.NullPointerException"

Может ли кто-нибудь дать мне подсказку, как это сделать? Я потерялся.
