About this converter
Williams 1982 pays eggs beside kills.

That makes one wave bonus equal sixty life losses. Eggs climb 250 per pickup to a 1000 cap. Every figure here is the manual ticket with port splits in notes.
How to use it
Pick two actions and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked: one holds a count of the first action, one the matching count of the second, one the total in points. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 wave bonus against Bounders.
Port splits stay noted: 5200 Hunter 700 versus arcade 750 uses arcade rowed. Pterodactyl beak only is noted since body hits fail. Extra bird at 20000 is a threshold noted outside ticket rows. Wave 3000 against life 50 shows sixty to one. Eggs climb 250 steps to a 1000 cap. Shadow 1500 doubles Hunter 750. Bounder 500 ties Egg 2nd dead on. Pterodactyl 1000 ties Egg 4th cap.
