# WHO'S PLAYING? — find the player's character and read its state.
#
# There is no "give me the player" global. You walk a short chain:
#   this device -> its playspace -> the players in it -> each player's
#   fort_character (the body that runs around the map). Once you hold a
#   fort_character you can ask it where it is, where it's looking, and what
#   it's doing right now. This device prints a quick status report for every
#   player when a Button is pressed — a roll-call you can drop into any island.

    # Press this to run the roll-call.

        # Step 2: the playspace knows every human player currently in the match.
