This program implements a Relative Turmite Turing machine on a rectangular map.

A collection of tables and rules: https://code.google.com/p/ruletablerepository/wiki/TwoDimensionalTuringMachines

  Implemented functionalities:
 		Langton's ant
 			R and L turning directions
 			Multiple colours
 		Boundary conditions
 			Fixed
 			Toroidal
 		Multiple states
 			2state - 2colours
 

There are three input files that you can modify.

Here you can specify the width and height grid size on the first line and the boundary condition on the second line. A valu of 0 = fixed boundary, and 1 = toroidal

  Example:
  150 150
  1

Enter the rotational rules for each colour with R for right turn and L for left turn. The Number of rotational rules set will also be the number of implemented colours

Example:
 		RL
  		LRLRLRLRLRLRLRL

Here you can specify the 12 digits corresponding to a 2-state 2-colour turmite. The machines are encoded to the form {a, b, c} where a=new colour, b=movement, c=new state. The movement is specified according to the literature: 1: no turn; 2: right; 4: u-turn; 8: left

Examples:
 
Fibonacci {1,8,1}, {1,8,1}, {1,2,1}, {0,1,0}.

A runable program can be found in the executable folder. This has only been tested under windows.

If you are using Visaul Studio you can open the turmite_v01.sln solution and hit F5, which should compile and run the project.

You can also build from the CMake file

❗ Add all .dlls and input files to your executable folder.
