Slick Forums

Hi,

I'm having trouble implementing an enum state machine within the gamestate class of my game here.

Before anyone goes ripping my head off, the reason why I'm nesting a state machine into the gamestate is so that I can handle turns (phases) within my game loop without having to create new state classes in slick.

I'm trying to implement the enums in such a way that they act as switches - only allowing certain code to run depending on the state of the machine - so far I think the only way to do this is to have a turnstate enum and a turn handler class and then implement the "switches" as objects within the update section of the game. However this is really not working out for me.

In my frustration I actually deleted my code so I have nothing to post - has anyone managed this and if so, could you post me an example to work from?

This might be a silly question, but have you considered using the 'switch' statement in java; it allows you to use enums to switch on.
If you don't know:

I hope this helps some!
