/**
 * \class KPlayer kplayer.h <KPlayer>
 *
 * @short Base class for a game player
 *
 * The KPlayer class is the central player object. It holds
 * information about the player and is responsible for any
 * input the player does. For this arbitrary many KGameIO
 * modules can be plugged into it. Main features are:
 * - Handling of IO devices
 * - load/save (mostly handled by KGamePropertyHandler)
 * - Turn handling (turn based, asynchronous)
 *
 * A KPlayer depends on a KGame object. Call KGame::addPlayer() to plug
 * a KPlayer into a KGame object. Note that you cannot do much with a
 * KPlayer object before it has been plugged into a KGame. This is because
 * most properties of KPlayer are KGameProperty which need to send messages
 * through a KGame object to be changed.
 *
 * A KGameIO represents the input methods of a player and you should make all
 * player inputs through it. So call something like playerInput->move(4);
 * instead which should call KGameIO::sendInput() to actually move. This way
 * you gain a *very* big advantage: you can exchange a KGameIO whenever you
 * want! You can e.g. remove the KGameIO of a local (human) player and just
 * replace it by a computerIO on the fly! So from that point on all playerInputs
 * are done by the computerIO instead of the human player. You also can replace
 * all network players by computer players when the network connection is broken
 * or a player wants to quit.
 * So remember: use KGameIO whenever possible! A KPlayer should just
 * contain all data of the player (KGameIO must not!) and several common
 * functions which are shared by all of your KGameIOs.
