Walkthrough

A State configuration file can be quite large and complicated. There are a number of different areas that you have to tweak, adding and removing things from in order to get it all worked out. There's a reason for this though - State is extremely flexible and is designed to be easily extendable in the future. This design axiom is reflected in his configuration. Often times you'll find yourself giving what you may consider too much information or giving simple information in a complicated manner. This is just your imagination, it's fine. Perhaps in the future we'll provide a simpler file format and a conversion tool. Until then, just go with this.

Global/Main

All State configurations begin with a very straightforward collection of tags and instructions. It is in this main area where the database is initialized, modules are loaded, and some global properties are assigned.
