The entire client/server dynamic is the same in singleplayer, besides a few
optimizations IIRC.  A singleplayer game is essentially a listen server with
maxplayers 1.  You still need to use the networking macros and things in
order to transfer data between client and server objects and the idea
remains of implementing the bulk of the gameplay functionality on the server
side with the client handling input and rendering.

There's a whole sentence about it buried on the wiki ;)
