Re: finite state machine in lua

[Srinivas Murthy <the.srinivas.murthy@...>]

I need to use this for a real-time event sampling use-case. 

https://gitlab.fing.edu.uy/jvisca/ahsm  does seem interesting but the cautionary note that its "very alpha quality and not tested ..." is worrisome.

Is there any other libs that you could recommend?

I've used that and it works great, very compact and efficient. An
explicit data structure with states, transitions, etc. is easier to
explain to others and to manipulate programmatically, tough.

If you need more sophisticated state machines, like hierarchical state
machines / statecharts, you can check this:

(it's a very light weight implementation, we use it on
microcontroller-based robots)
