Re: Stratagy

Create an object which represents a player. All information about the
player can be stored on the object's attributes, all actions possible
can exist as object methods.

to save the state of the player to the database, serialize() the object
(which will produce a string). When you want to resume that player,
simply unserialise the string that you stored in the text field.
