isn't a perfect sphere a polygon with infinitely many sides? hehe Nice and quirky app!

I guess so... but alternatively, apeirogons have 180 degree angles, making it a straight line. ;)

Whoops! 9000-gon would be contahectoenneachiliagon when it should be enneachiliagon.

I forgot to factor in what would happen if a 0 were in a number. But no, I just tested 9000, and it didn't work. ;)

Bug was, any number ending with 20 (excluding 20 itself) would have a polygon name starting with "cosa" instead of "icosa."
