/**
 *  \short Base class for IO devices for games
 *
 *  This is the master class for
 *  creating IO game devices. You cannot use it directly.
 *  Either take one of the classes derived from it or
 *  you have to create your own IO class derived from it (more probably).
 *
 *  The idea behind this class is to provide a common interface
 *  for input devices into your game. By programming a KGameIO
 *  device you need not distinguish the actual IO in the game
 *  anymore. All work is done by the IO's. This allows very
 *  easy reuse in other games as well.
 *  A further advantage of using the IO's is that you can exchange
 *  the control of a player at runtime. E.g. you switch a player
 *  to be controlled by the computer or vice versa.
 *
 *  To achieve this you have to make all of your player inputs through a
 *  KGameIO. You will usually call KGameIO::sendInput to do so.

 *
 *  The KGameComputerIO class. It is used to create a LOCAL computer player

 *  Question: Is this needed or is it overwritten anyway for a real game?
 *
 *  You most probably don't want to use this if you want to design a turn based
 *  game/player. You'll rather use @ref KGameIO directly, i.e. subclass it
 *  yourself. You just need to use @ref KGameIO::signalPrepareTurn and/or @ref
 *  KGameIO::notifyTurn there.
 *
 *  This is rather meant to be of use in real time games.
