0.3.5 crash on start arcade mode

[7yl4r]

Reported by /u/japtar

I downloaded the jar file, and managed to run the menu, but the game crashed after clicking the Arcade mode. Am I doing something wrong?

System info: Windows 10 with JRE 8.0.91

NOTE: this app.log includes info from multiple runs of the program. Here's what it looks like to me:

1. game started for first time, game closed normally (never left menu)
2. Game started, arcade mode entered, game crash.
3. Game started, pause menu activated (and fiddled around, that NullPtrException is expected and handled properly), pause menu exited, clicked to enter arcade mode, game crash.

I don't really see anything useful in the log except for the fact that we get to Arcade.init before hitting a hard crash.

I'm not sure how much more we'll be able to get out of this issue. Since then, there has been lots of changes. I'm going to close out this issue in favor of opening a new one once we get more data to back up this edge case.
