Feature Highlights
- Permissive MIT License
- Written in widely-supported modern(ish) C++11
- Header-only
- Convenient, minimal boilerplate
- Fully static, no dynamic allocations
- Uses inline-friendly compile-time polymorphism, no virtual methods are used
- Type-safe transitions:
FSM.changeTo<TargetState>()with optional payloads - Flexible configuration using
FFSM2_ENABLE_*macros - Scalable, supports robust state re-use via state injections
- Gamedev-friendly, supports explicit
State::update() - Also supports traditional event-based workflow with
State::react() - Inspect anything: previous and current transitions, state activation status, and more!
- Game AI-friendly with dynamic planning support
- Debug-assisted, includes automatic structure and activity visualization API
- Built-in logging support
3rd Party Libraries
- doctest unit testing framework
