alice-physics 1.1.0

//! Locomotion state machine for kinematic character controllers.
//!
//! Complements [`crate::character`] (capsule move-and-slide) and
//! [`crate::sdf_character`] (SDF-swept move-and-slide) by supplying a
//! deterministic state enum + transition table that callers can drive
//! from per-tick sensor readings (ground contact, slope angle, water
//! immersion, crouch button).
//!
//! The module is intentionally logic-only — it does not touch a
//! `RigidBody`, does not consume delta time, and does not depend on
//! `Fix128`. Downstream character controllers apply the resulting
//! [`CharacterState`] as a lookup key for movement parameters (walk
//! speed, jump height, drag).

/// Discrete locomotion states.
///
/// The state machine is fully described by [`transition`]; callers
/// should not reason about invalid states elsewhere.
