I've got a question, I verly new to slick and I'm making a sidescroller. I'm trying to load a spritesheet in a stateBasedGame. But when i run/debug the game it runs but doesn't show the image. Here is the code:

//private static Map<String, Image> images;
private static Map<String, SpriteSheet> sprites;
//private static Map<String, Sound> sounds;

public Resources() {
    //images = new HashMap<String, Image>();
    sprites = new HashMap<String, SpriteSheet>();
    //sounds = new HashMap<String, Sound>();

    try {
        sprites.put("tiles", loadSprite("resources/tiles.png", 32, 32));
    } catch (SlickException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

private Image loadImage(String path) throws SlickException {
    return new Image(path, false, Image.FILTER_NEAREST);
}

private SpriteSheet loadSprite(String path, int tw, int th) throws SlickException {
    return new SpriteSheet(loadImage(path), tw, th);
}

public static Image getSpriteImage(String getter, int x, int y) {
    sprites.get(getter).getSubImage(x, y);
    return null;
}

and in the GameState I put this:

Resources.getSpriteImage("tiles", 0, 0);

I double checked the path and that is correct. Please help me!

It's correct, the issue is you're not calling the draw method, you're only getting an instance of the image.

Try this: Resources.getSpriteImage("tiles", 0, 0).draw(0, 0);

Your method getSpriteImage needs to return the image instead of returning null:

public static Image getSpriteImage(String getter, int x, int y) {
    return sprites.get(getter).getSubImage(x, y);
}

And don't forget to actually draw the tile in your GameState:

Resources.getSpriteImage("tiles", 0, 0).draw(0, 0);
