You could have used a normal Int Array for this task too, you're 
dealing with numbers and could go with array of 9 elements 0..8, 
then move data circularly and adding new lives as hit -1.

I pretty sure there is a Mathematical way to solve this, I mean 
without any Arrays, but I didn't bother about it since that even 
my basic JavaScript implementation runs in less than 1ms for 256 
days in an old computer.
