This app is a Turing Machine Simulator. Students of computer science and maths are probably familar with Turing Machines, because the Turing Machine is one of the important models when analyzing if mathematical problems or algorithms are computable. Usually dealing with Turing machines requires paper and pencil for simulating the program execution. This app can help by providing several ways to execute Turing programs and analyze it in an easy and comfortable way. You can write new programs for the Turing Machine, execute them and analyze the execution even step by step. It's also possible to change the speed of the execution. It's possible to export and import Turing programs using email. The app comes with some example Turing programs to play with.
