Oolite JavaScript Reference: Player

Prototype: Ship

This class was added in Oolite test release 1.70.

The Player class is an Entity representing the player, and the player’s ship – the two are inseperable. The Player has all the properties and methods of a Ship, and several others. There is always exactly one Player object in existence, which can be accessed through the player global property.
