Code example:

state=require("stateswitcher")
state.switch("credits") -- switching to credits.lua

Code example with passing a value:

state=require("stateswitcher")
state.switch("credits;2;hello") -- passing 2 as the first value, "hello" as the second value

Code example to retrieve the values passed after switch:

state=require("stateswitcher")
step=passvar[1] -- gets the first value = 2
greeting=passvar[2] -- = "hello"
state.clear() -- clearing the values passed, so no zombie values hang around

Other advantages:

• edit your code & save to see changes immediately after state switch (without leaving your program)
• reuse the functions from the previous states (to keep same behaviour) or redeclare the functions (to change behaviour)
