Summary 00791: astrob: Inspection of the relationship between credits and lives.
Description Here are the infos I have found on how many lives you are awarded when you start a game :

The way lives are given at start is very weird !

It depends on the number of credits left and the number of players :
  - for a 1 player game, you are given (credits left * 2) lives
  - for a 2 player game, you are given (credits left) lives for each player

Don't forget to substrat 1 or 2 credits before calculating the lives !
Also note that the credits are BCD coded (0x10 - 1 = 0x09) whereas lives are not.

For example, if you have 1 credit :
  - for a 1 player game, you are given 0 life for each player !
  - a 2 player game isn't possible

For example, if you have 2 credits :
  - for a 1 player game, you are given 2 lives
  - for a 2 player game, you are given 0 life for each player !

For example, if you have 3 credits :
  - for a 1 player game, you are given 4 lives
  - for a 2 player game, you are given 1 life for each player

For example, if you have 6 credits :
  - for a 1 player game, you are given 10 lives
  - for a 2 player game, you are given 4 lives for each player

For example, if you have 10 credits :
  - for a 1 player game, you are given 18 lives
  - for a 2 player game, you are given 8 lives for each player

For example, if you have 11 credits :
  - for a 1 player game, you are given 32 lives
  - for a 2 player game, you are given 9 lives for each player

For example, if you have 12 credits :
  - for a 1 player game, you are given 34 lives
  - for a 2 player game, you are given 16 lives for each player
