But I do know what a big confusing state machine is. I have a
seperate thread that runs through it. Course I do not have full cc yet but
the principles are the same. If you are stuck single threaded for some
reason, you could write a little macro language that took a desired
character creation system and created the fsa out of it. Then the mud
would basically just run the fsa.
Writing languages to solve problems is always fun.
