As Ronald already mentions a suicide and a respawn at the starting
position offers some more solutions. ;-) If a respawn at the last
safe grid exists I'll add the usually extralifes for a more relaxed
game play. I would even do this for those of my levels having the
same conditions, too.

Sorry but I won't use anything like that because I know Günter Grass'
novel "Im Krebsgang" and the historical implications.
