Object: Learn about a basic Turing machine that was once actually built by the author in 1986. Five different programs are implemented and can be run at the speed you select. You can even edit the "data tape" to your liking (simply click one of the black ball bearings) and thus try out many types of input. Be patient—the program takes a while to load.
