Set "debug' = True" to enable debug logging
Example usage:

debug $ putStrLn "message"

Use "handleAction" as a hook for adding your AI behaviour. In this function, use state to access the GameState type that represents all information the game engine has provided so far.
handleAction :: String -> Context() To access the IO monad from the StateT monad transformer, use:

liftIO $ putStrLn "some IO"
xyz <- liftIO someReturningIO

Implemented as a StateT (easy to incrementally update the game state when receiving updates from the admin script) monad with IO as inner monad (easier to debug when developing...).
