ABSTRACT

Enter PlayMaker. PlayMaker is a nite state machine framework that facilitates a highly intuitive visual scripting system. In a nite state machine, everything exists in a state. Instructions are executed and sometimes cause a transition from one state to another. It is a lot like real life! If you are in a sad state and someone performs the action of giving you a cupcake, you will most likely transition into a happy state. It is just about that simple! If you can create a decision tree or owchart, you can use PlayMaker to get the engine to do what you want it to.
