Turing Machine Emulator

A Turing Machine emulator written in C++ 11

Building the binary

You'll need Make and g++ to compile the source code. Running

make

will produce the binary tm

Command line options

The program takes two optional arguments.

The first is the maximum number of steps to execute the machine.

The second the frames per second of the animation. A setting of zero means there is no animation.

The default is 1000 steps with no animation.

Running the first program in Turing 1936

cat s3p1.tm | ./tm 30 5

The input is read from stdin. The above runs the program that prints 010101... for 30 steps at 5 frames per second.

Running the second program in Turing 1936

cat s3p2.tm | ./tm 200 10

The above runs the program that prints 0010110111011110111110... for 200 steps at 10 frames per second.

Running the tests

make tests

This runs all the machines in the folder and compares the result with the output files.
