This would require adding more screens to main.c

And then setting up borders and render areas for the new like screens. skybox_and_splitscreen.c There's a lot of hard-coded arrays that would not like a value higher than 4. Definitely in camera.c and it would crash the game.

Not impossible to do. But a lot of issues would probably happen.

How would you even fit this feature on your monitor.

Large OLEDs could fit 8 players on easily.

Id be here for it, but that seems like a lot of work for a very niche use case.

I mean how often have you actually played 8player smash?

That doesn't even split up the screen iirc. I would like this feature for the sake of novelty, but almost certainly not worth the unhard-coding everything, at least not when there's simpler things to tackle.

unhard-coding everything will just make easier to add feature on screen not necessary make 8 split screen specifically but just to be more easy to read.
