map player count

why do you guys start with 0 instead of 1?
player 0 - player 9 instead of player 1 - player 10 ?
I think map preview should show player 1 - player 10

And now imagine inline private chat with player 10.

Counting from 0 is a programmer thing. Most computer laungages index from 0, hence most programmers count from 0 when enumerating things. It makes sense most of the time, but for things like this it's better to take "curPlayer + 1"

I never thought about the chat thing that NoQ mentioned, now having first player = 0 makes a lot more sense.

Now that you say that... It may not just be Programmer Lazyness (tm)
