To run the simulator Python 2.7 needs to be installed. The program is run as a normal python script. The simulator expects two main arguments. The first one, using option -t, is a file containing the turing machine (see below for an example) and the second one is a input word.
./turingSim.py -f fileName inputWord
Ex.
./turingSim.py -f doubleBalancig.tm aabb
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit -t, --traceset for trace turing machine -r, --result Print the output from the first track -b, --clearBlanks Clear unused blanks from tracks -f fileName, --file=fileName Filename for turing machine
