The difference between player and character

Hello, Today I will teach you about the difference between players and characters. This is something I really struggled with (barely just figured it out this week) so I thought I should help others understand so they don’t have to sit in a chair for days figuring it out. Anyways let’s begin!

To sum it up, well, you could think of the character as your body, and the player as the brain.

What do I mean? Well, basically, you know how when you play a game theres a physical character, your avatar? That is your character. Your player is basically all the data and whatever that you contain in the game you are playing.

If you’re still confused, please leave a comment down below and me or other developers would be happy to help!

I never thought people would struggle with this, but hey, there are gonna be people!
This actually does sum it up perfectly.

The player containing all data and acting as the brain, in that the player controls the character.
The character is a physical object that can interact with stuff but cant do anything on its own.

Nice work!
