State Design Pattern

	State Design Pattern
Desc:	State Pattern is a design pattern for implementing state machines without creating a web of functions and switc/cases to change from one state to another, also without the huge state matrix that always give us nightmares. The approach is simple and you should read it from who really knows what it is by reading this PDF. My simple explanation is: each state have a common method for running and changing states. The state controller should only call those methods and ask the states themselves to change it's current state instead of changing itself. This way, you should only code inside states and nothing on state controller or outside of it. It is then, much easier to add new states, change the behaviour of the machine and use the same code for different purposes.
Source:	The source now is merely my header file, which can be used for any purpose. But I haven't used it for more than one purpose, so it's not as generic as I would expect so, please, change it to your own purposes. If you feel you could let this file more generic, please contact me, I'd love to hear from you. State.h
