I got a simple implementation working for Ace
Getting multiple players was easier than I thought. Only reason I subclassed was to provide custom key controls, though I would prefer giving "player ID's" and having them look up a controller mapping based on their ID.
The issue now is to create split-screen and run a separate thread for each player.
