Number of Shots at New Game

As found by Andy:
This patch lets you set the number of shots that Keen starts with at the beginning of a new game. This sample has him starting with a single shot.
Keen 3:
Andy also added:
The Keen engine only checks whether the number of shots is zero or not; otherwise it subtracts one. So (due to the behaviour of signed 16-bit integers), if Keen has -1 shots, after shooting he will have -2, then -3, and so on up until -32768. If he then shoots once more, he will have +32767 shots, which will then reduce to zero.
Needless to say that this total number of shots (65535) is practically unlimited.
Snaily pointed out:
Assuming you fired four shots per seconds, you'd have to be mashing those buttons for over four and a half hours {to run out of ammo}. That's one amazing attention span.
