Array Etiquette

When most people start counting, they begin at the number one.

When computers start counting, they tend to prefer our old faithful number zero.

As you can probably see, this has caused a little bit of stress over whether computing arrays should begin at zero or one.

I think my idea of having arrays start at 0.5 was rejected without proper consideration. Surely being the Lead Programmer of a small student game should give me some power on this matter.
