The State Pattern Done the Pythonic Way

The classic State design pattern is often implemented with many small classes and heavy inheritance. In this video, I show a different approach.
I start with the traditional object-oriented version and then refactor it into a generic, data-driven state machine using Python features like decorators, enums, and generics. The result is a clean, reusable engine where transitions are explicit and easy to understand.
