Leave a Review Turing Machine Simulator
Good program
I can’t put a name for a program I create, and I can’t modify its alphabet. I’m supposed to be able to but the changes are not saved. This surprised me because it’s a sleek app otherwise. I’m hoping this will be fixed quickly and I will revise my rating if so. Not good for a paid app to have showstopper bugs like this.
EDIT: I figured out that I wasn’t tapping DONE. If you edit the name or the alphabet, and tap away to a different section, the changes will be SHOWN on screen still but will not be saved. I still think this is a bug, but there’s a workaround (just tap DONE after each edit) so it’s not a showstopper. Upgrading my rating therefore.Show lessMWildcard
Really nice Turing simulation
I've tried a few other Turing sims and this one is the best so far. It's pretty flexible and relatively intuitive to operate with decent documentation and links to more information. The examples are pretty neat and are even commented. Overall, a nice app for the price.Sean Wall
Excellent
An exceptionally good app, with all the features it should have—and with a clean, intuitive, and well-designed interface that makes it a pleasure to use.Descriptivist
Good, but it has a few glitches.
Every time I try to delete an instruction, it exits to the main menu. Other than that, it worked just fine.snbj3141
Faithful representation
Excellent simulator; I like the use of "theory" syntax for the rules, and the debugging features gave me a laugh.
Features I'd like to see
- the ability for a rule to not move the tape head, but not halt the program either.
- a way to input a state and have auto-generated stub rules for every alphabet symbol (would speed up program entry considerably).Show lessKabourneeak
Wonderful app
I would give it 5 stars except for a bug I found. Bring up the binary number incrementer and on the last step (1, ' ') change the movement from Halt to Left. Then change the tape to "111" and run it. It will correctly increment it to 1000, but when it does that last step, it does not move the head. Not sure why - I e-mailed the author. But the idea to do this is brilliant. Is this the only general programmable app allowed in the store??? I think maybe so!Show lessSford
Hahaha!!!!
I love that this was made. The interface is easy to use and the execution of programs is very slick.
I wish the author would consider a BrainF&!k interpreter.
Good one on you mate!0nXYZ
Very well implemented!
Ok so probably this app won't appeal to the typical app store shopper, but for those who know what this is, this is awesome!
Very good interface, stable and actually fun. Even non-computer scientists who enjoy puzzles would enjoy this.
Great work!Kevin37753
Holy Crap This Is Awesome
This is perhaps the coolest program ever. It works great and it would be extremely effective as a demonstration for teaching. Kudos!Kakos
