# jarotsim

playground for the exploration and livecoding of turing machines. (work in progress)

# about

jarotsim is inspired by {turingsim} as a simulator of turing-machine-based performances like {d-turing} or {mub}.

it embraces computing for fun, play and learning.

the objective is to have a graphical user interface where one can edit / livecode the rules of the machine and its tape, and explore their effects.

for the moment the idea is to have a maximum of 4 states and 4 symbols. according to Wolfram, they should be more than enough to explore complex behaviors.

as of now, all of the machines described in {máquinas de turing} can be simulated in jarotsim.
