Hi Bryan,
thanks for the feedback. Bridging between fsm and gfsm is a great idea! I thought about dot export and expressions too, but why should i reinvent the wheel? :) What i'm actually planning to add, is a pd-patch exporter, to export state machines as patches, to be even more portable. (it happens regularly, that downloaded patches refuse to work, because of dependencies, so i think it's in many cases a good idea, to avoid the usage of externals). But first of all, i have to get fsm stable. Currently it crashes, when i delete a state (didn't happen in earlier versions :( )... need to figure out, how to connect externals to a debugger & memory watcher...
Have a nice sunday, lsw~

moin lsw,
pretty cool, especially since it has next to no dependencies (unlike [gfsm], which needs glib and of course libgfsm ;-) Any chance of adding some AT&T-style I/O routines for compatibility? That way, users could easily switch back and forth between [gfsm_automaton] and [fsm] representations by bouncing the data over the filesystem (ugly but portable), so you could get visualization with dot, regex compilation, markov chain generation, weighted transitions, etc. etc. ...

Dear list,
i have been absent from pd-list for a few years, but i'd like to change that. :)
During the last days i wrote my first external: fsm - finite state machine for pd I wrote this with algorithmic sequencing and sequence recognition in
mind. You can find builds for win32, osx and linx, as well as the sources and help-patch with examples at http://floppy35.de/pd/ I didn't test the windows and linux builds (but osx-version seems to work fine), so please tell me, if it works or if it destroys your machine and deletes your mp3-collection. ;)Unfortunately i saw a bit late that moocow had a similar idea earlier... however, my external seems to be a bit different (low-level approach), so it might be still useful for some of you. It's written in plain C and consists of one single c-file, so it should be easy to port and compile for different platforms.
Feedback is appreciated.
All the best, lsw~
