The class must not be inside a function

Tysm so you have to delete void player() {} right?

Yes. Or close this function before the class starts. Use } bracket

There is a nice text tutorial about objects and classes

Remarks

You also need setup() and draw() outside of the class.

Are you working in the processing IDE?

Data type is PImage, not Image.

The data type is Image because the Image is obtained fron Java AWT or Swing

Couple of other points regarding the original code

In Java it is normal to capitalise the class name so use Player , this helps others to identify your user defined classes.

Generally I would avoid using Processing function/variable names in your class. loadImage is a Processing function that loads a bitmap file into a PImage object hence the confusion you caused for @Chrisir
