i've looked at the tutorial here and i've been left with a question. why use nodes? from what i can see you could just have a normal class for the StateMachine and have it store normal class States in a dictionary? or is it better to have everything as nodes or smth?

They are easier to grasp and you can get some use out of the MainLoop class.

But yeah, you don't need nodes. None of my FSMs use them.
