A Turing machine written in Ruby

#Tmachine

A fully fonctional turing machine written in RUBY. The machine shows the state, symbol and tape at each transition.

##Implementation

The program is built with multiple classes in order to make it more modular:

• The Tmachine class contains the code that do the transition
• The Tape class contains all the code related to the tape
• The Rule and Loader class contains the code for parsing the rules from the file and searching for the rules
• The Printer class deals with the prints and can print also in file.

##Usage

To use the machine type ruby main.rb [filename.tm]. The filename.tm will contain the code that the turing machine will interpret

##Programming the Tmachine

The Tmachine is really easy to program

Create a file and put the rules, alphabet and the initial tape in it following this syntax

	TAPE=>PUT_HERE_THE_INITIAL_TAPE
	RULE=>STATE SYMBOL NEWSTATE NEW SYMBOL MOVE
		YOU CAN PUT AS MANY RULES AS YOU WISH
	ALPH=>PUT_HERE_THE_ALPHABET

You can define the START STOP and movement symbols in Global.rb
