Whelp, I figured out my problem, for some reason my pointer I declared global within main.cpp is appearing as null in player.cpp(using extern to get to it). So now I just have to figure out how to fix it. The power was out for most of the night therefore not work got done.

tcurtis: I feel you pain, I had to start stretching my wrists out before I type for a long and I got an ergonomic keyboard(wireless, it's pretty sweet, gotta love excuses to get new toys) and I break up my typing with lots of coffee breaks.
