State Machines - How to engineer better software

Welcome to the next edition of Gamedev The Hard Way, my attempt at writing a game from scratch for the Agon Light, using nothing but C. This time I attempt to put the \"engineering\" back in \"software engineer\". Instead of blindly hacking away at my code and hoping for the best, I am now more thoughtfully designing a system. In this video we\'re looking at what software design patterns are, and how using a finite state machine can make writing a game\'s basic logic more manageable.
