-- The base State class.  
-- The general way of creating an object that implements these functions goes like this:
--[[
MyState = Object:extend()
MyState:implement(State)
function MyState:init(name)
  self:init_state(name)
end

function MyState:on_enter(from)

end

function MyState:update(dt)

end


function MyState:draw()

end
]]--

-- This creates a new MyState class which you can then use to start writing your code.
-- Use the init function for things you need to do when the state object is created.
-- Use the on_enter function for things you need to do whenever the state gets activated.
-- By default, whenever a state gets deactivated it's not deleted from memory, so if you want to restart a level, for instance, whenever you switch states,
-- then you need to destroy everything that needs to be destroyed in an on_exit function and then recreate it again in the on_enter function.
--
-- You'd add a state to the game like this:
--   main:add(MyState'level_1')
-- You'd move to that state like so:
--   main:go_to'level_1'
-- main:go_to automatically calls on_exit for the currently active state and on_enter for the new one.
-- You can access the currently active state with main.current.
