What can I do with Turing-Werkstatt.exe ?

build
- Turing machines with up to 4 tapes,
- finite automata,
- push-down-automata.
control simulation trough
- run or jump forward, backward,
- breakpoints,
- inspect the contents of all tapes.
formulate algorithms trough
- learnmode,
- joker-character for instructions,
- combining Turing machines.
describe examples through
- a textfile,
- saving the table of instructions in a textfile.
visualize the Graph of states
- build graph,
- let the machine work on the graph.

Terms of Use
You are allowed to use, copy and distribute the software for educational or private purpose. Any commercial use is forbidden. The program is carefully planned and written. Nevertheless i can not garantee the absence of any error. Therefore if you use Turing-Werkstatt.exe, it's on your own responsibility.

History
Turing-Werkstatt has as predecessor the DOS-Software MPG-Turing-Simulator, a software-project starting in 1989 by an course of the Max-Planck-Gymnasium in Trier, Germany. I have further develloped the software until 1997. MPG-Turing-Simulator is written in Turbo-Pascal. In 2004 i presented a project Turing-Simulator written in Delphi. Turing.pdf , a textfile in german, describes it. I took up this Delphi-project in 2014 and published it as Turing-Werkstatt.
