First some background...
Earlier this year, I threw together a utility / library-ish thing for mapping game controllers and keys, and reading input.
It let the user map controls for upto 8 players, so I called it "Basic Input Mapper, Octo Edition".
But now I am increasing the number of players to 16.
If octo is 8, what is 16?
I did some googling on numerical prefixes, and found a few contenders:
So would the right term for the usage be "Sexdeca Edition"?
And when I get around to supporting 32 players, what then??
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ LoL
