State Machine Patterns

[rixter757]

Hi all,

I am writing a turn-based game, researching a simple state machine. I haven’t used NC yet, mostly FC and converting to code as I go. Need to hit myself a kick to work some more hours!!

OK so I’m thinking for my needs I need a simple state machine. I see a few different patterns out there, thought I would post the easiest and ask if anyone could share a similar design from NC.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53

public class GameStates : MonoBehaviour { public enum GameState { START, PLAYERCHOICE, ENEMYCHOICE, LOSE, WIN } private GameState currentState; private GameState lastState; void Start () { currentState = GameState.START; } void Update () { switch (currentState) { case (GameState.START) : if (currentState != lastState) { } lastState = currentState; break; case (GameState.PLAYERCHOICE) : if (currentState != lastState) { } lastState = currentState; break; case (GameState.ENEMYCHOICE) : if (currentState != lastState) { } lastState = currentState; break; case (GameState.LOSE) : if (currentState != lastState) { } lastState = currentState; break; case (GameState.WIN) : if (currentState != lastState) { } lastState = currentState; break; } } }

I modified the above pattern to include the “lastState” control variable because I can’t figure how it would work without it.

Can anyone suggest the NC equivalent? Any interest in working on this to come up with a few different types?
