Multiplayer features are a LONG way off but random notes/ideas:

Networked player: currently Play Mode inserts the "PLAYER" character last and starts the level, sending keyboard inputs to the PLAYER and controlling its velocity by the Play Scene.
- Networked players would be added in a similar fashion but their movement and inputs coming from the networking layer (another player).
FailLevel() function: hostile doodads can fail the level for the player but in multiplayer this should only result in killing off the nearest player. Without changing the established doodad script API:
- Log the location of the doodad which called FailLevel,
- The nearest player character is killed instead of the level failing for ALL players.
