Finite-state Machine

This game uses the Finite-state Machine model to define the stages and the transitions between these stages (or states). The game map is defined as a dict within Engine class within lib/engine.py module. New stages can be created by adding more transitions to this dict and creating new stage classes, extending the Stage base class within the lib/stage.py module.

Inheritance versus composition

This game use Python object-oriented features like inheritance and composition. Each stage inherits functions from the Stage base class, which import functions from the Console class within lib/console.py module.
