Finite State Machine

A request-driven gameplay FSM architecture for scalable and deterministic state orchestration.

---

A gameplay-oriented finite state machine focused on deterministic transitions, request buffering and scalable transition orchestration.

Features

• Transition request queue
• Priority-based transition arbitration
• Request expiration handling
• State validation pipeline
• Deterministic request ordering
• Forced transition handling
• Deferred transition resolution

Purpose

Traditional FSM implementations often struggle with:

• Buffered gameplay inputs
• Transition conflicts
• Interruptions
• Temporary invalid transitions

This system introduces a request-driven transition pipeline designed to make gameplay state orchestration more predictable and scalable.

Design Goals

• Predictable transition resolution
• Buffered gameplay input handling
• Decoupled transition requests
• Interrupt-safe state orchestration
• Scalable gameplay state management
