Optimize memory and prevent null pointer

Optimize memory and prevent null pointer

-Problem:
After trying to load a big dungeon with different map graphics, the game couldn't load.
In fact, the default memory was full and at the end, some pictures could not be loaded and returned a 'void' picture (a 'null pointer' in term of programing).
A null pointer made the game crash and then the 'Unable to load map' message then appeared.

-Solution:
In order to avoid this situation, the best thing to do is to allocate more memory for the game.
Instead of running the game with this command line:

C:\your_java_path\bin\javaw.exe -cp . dmnew

change it to:

C:\your_java_path\bin\javaw.exe -Xmx1100m -Xms1000m -cp . dmnew

The Xms (start memory) and Xmx (max memory) flags allocate memory.
1000m means 1000 mega which is 1 Giga.
(You may need to adjust the memory depending on your computer memory)
