--[[ state machine a finite state machine implementation each state is either: - a table with enter, exit, update and draw callbacks (all optional) which each take the state table and varargs as arguments - a function which gets passed the current event name, the machine, and varargs as arguments on changing state, the outgoing state's exit callback is called then the incoming state's enter callback is called enter can trigger another transition by returning a string on update, the current state's update callback is called the return value can trigger a transition on draw, the current state's draw callback is called the return value is discarded TODO: consider coroutine friendliness ]] local path = (...):gsub("state_machine", "") local class = require(path ..
