Additional Lives per Level

[Isms]

Hey guys, I'm falling in love with this game but I also don't have a lot of time on my hands. Exploration and Easy mode bore me for obvious reasons, but I can't seem to get very far in Adventure mode and I just don't have the time available to keep at it over and over.

Is there a way to increase the number of lives available, perhaps double the amount adventure mode normally gives? This would still give the suspense of having lives that matter but without the bore and lack of game mechanics like easy and adventure mode.

If there already isn't a way, would it take long to learn how to create this addon if I've never used Lua or whatever is used to make addons?
