Tiamat turns cellular automata into a creative, relaxing sandbox for patterns, rules, colors, and discovery. Build living worlds from simple rules, then watch order, chaos, gliders, oscillators, and unexpected structures emerge. Start with familiar Game of Life-style behavior, import or export rulestrings, tune simulation speed, paint directly on the field, and save the fields, rules, gradients, and patterns you want to revisit. What you can do in Tiamat: - Explore Conway-like cellular automata with wrapped, borderless fields. - Create, edit, save, import, and share rules with BS, SB, and HROT rulestring support. - Paint cells by hand, place saved patterns, or generate random fields. - Customize gradients and fading to make simulations easier to read and more beautiful to watch. - Save favorite worlds, layers, rules, colors, and patterns for later experiments. - Learn cellular automata concepts with built-in help and changelog articles. Whether you are studying emergent systems, looking for generative art inspiration, or just want a calm mathematical sandbox, Tiamat gives you precise controls without getting in the way.
Turing Machine
This application allows users to write and execute algorithms on a Turing machine. It is designed to help engineering students in higher education practice and verify their work with algorithms.
- Write algorithms
- Execute algorithms
- Verify algorithm work
- Turing machine simulation
- Educational tool for engineering students

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Turing Machine at none against Tiamat's 6. Turing Machine also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.2 vs 26.0). Tiamat's advantage is ratings volume (107 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiamat sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Turing Machine asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Tiamat against 5.0 for Turing Machine. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiamat has 107 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Tiamat ships an update every 2 weeks, Turing Machine every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
