🔄 Bookshelf Finite State Machine Module

Describe behaviors as states and transitions, and run them on entities or globally.

"FSMs are without a doubt the most commonly used technology in game AI programming today. They are conceptually simple, efficient, easily extensible, and yet powerful enough to handle a wide variety of situations."

— Daniel D. Fu & Ryan Houlette

✨ Features

• Describe a state machine as a template, stored and edited with plain data commands
• Validate a state machine before running it (initiality, unicity, acceptability, reachability)
• Run a state machine globally or bound to specific entities
• Trigger transitions manually, or from a predicate, a command, or a delay
• React to state changes with enter, tick, and exit commands
