			== Player Clones ==

			{{Stub}}

			Player clones with stats have many useful side effects. Due to the game expecting the player to always be the first element in the stat list, the canonical player will move to the location where the last player clone was supposed to move, allowing objects to force the player to arbitrary locations on the board.

			== Statless Player Clones ==

			{{Stub}}

			Statless player clones do not run the player tick function, so they do not attract the player to them. However, they can be any arbitrary color, in addition to being visible in the dark.
