Not exactly (I know that you know that Smalltalk instances are
changed all the time via assignments to instance variables). A player
is a kind of wrapper for Smalltalk objects that allows certain other
behaviors to be instance specific (like instance local methods), and
also allows some experimentation with a different way to think about
object architectures.
Cheers,
Alan
