Not 'the same' but functionally similar.
In single player Quest the 'player as a room' is called the inventory. For some reason Alex decided to implement the individual players in a multiplayer game as rooms called 'player[id]' rather than 'inventory[id]'' which would have been more consistent. He may well have a good reason for doing that, I don't know
Whatever, you use 'inventory' in single player code where you would use 'player[id]' in a multiplayer..

best I've done is I've made and tried a tiny multi-player game (on a school network) just to prove it works.
Multi player just doesn't light my fire though - I appreciate I am probably a minority on that!
