Turtle Art Code for Turtle Art Turing Machine
Click thumbnails to see full-size code blocks.
- The Start action is the main procedure
- The Setup action defines and initializes variables, and sets the orientation of the turtle
- The Tape action writes the initial tape. User can change values in repeat statements to change arguments.
- The Program action followed by the stack1 action writes the program table line by line. This is divided in two so that the segments fit in the Turtle Art workspace
- The Execute action carries out the next program step until the halt state is reached
- The ToTape action Move turtle to current cell on tape
- The ToProgram action Move Turtle to beginning of current program row to execute
- The WriteCell action Write current color to current cell, and move to next cell
- The WriteSymbol action Write current color in cell without moving
- The ReadPixel action Read RGB values of pixel to stack, pop to variables
- The SetValue action Find value of cell symbol from RGB numbers
- The SetMove action Read next Move direction from program table
- The SetSymbol action Read next Symbol to write from program table
- The SetState action Read next State from program table
- The NewCell action Move left or right and set cell number of new location
- The Log action Write Step number, Symbol, Move, State, Cell number on new log line in black, saving and restoring
