Overview of this book

Hands-On Game Development without Coding is the first Visual Scripting book in the market. It was tailor made for a non programing audience who are wondering how a videogame is made. After reading this book you will be able to develop your own 2d and 3d videogames and use it on your presentations, to speed up your level design deliveries, test your game design ideas, work on your proofs of concept, or even doing it just for fun. The best thing about Hands-On Game Development without Coding is that you don’t need any previous knowledge to read and understand the process of creating a videogame. It is our main focus to provide you with the opportunity to create a videogame as easy and fast as possible. Once you go through the book, you will be able to create player input interaction, levels, object behaviours, enemy AI, creating your own UI and finally giving life to your game by building it. It’s Alive!

Summary

This chapter focused on understanding the basics of FSM, an algorithm that represents a computation model that simulates sequential logic.

We learned that this sequential logic is run by different states that the machine adopts and acts on accordingly, which is basically the pillar of our enemies' behavior.

As well as learning about the principles of finite-state machines, we have also looked at different real-life examples in order to understand the essence of this model. This is probably a new concept for us, so we want to make sure that we are able to hold on to this information, and most of all, that we are able to interpret the concept. This is why we learned how to create an FSM diagram of the traffic lights, Walkman, and washing machine FSM, as well as for other examples.

Finally, after all those concepts were good and fresh in our minds, we read about the...
