Added try-excepts to View.Start.getChildren

View.Start.getChildren() was throwing AttributeErrors
because it didn't have a startButton - whatever that means.
There seems to be a lot of errors like this, I don't know
if just adding try-excepts is a valid way to fix them, but
at least they're out of sight now?!
Handling cases where the Server connection fails

No big deal, just try-excepts and some sensible printing.
Updated gitignore
