This is great! I’m working on a software simulator as well, but it fills a different niche. It will run in the browser, and while also theoretically capable of handling large boards, it’ll probably hit the performance wall a lot earlier than your app. Hopefully I can post a link here within the next few weeks. I’ve got basic editing in place and am now working on the physics engine.

Proud owner of the kick-starter edition since a few days, and LOVE it! Our 7-year old now reads binary numbers fluently so that alone validates the investment. But much more to come.
Once I got my head around some of the basic structures (and that process is still ongoing) my mind starts to imagine bigger projects and that’s when the board is not enough. And that’s why I found this thread.
OUDON, I tried to install your project from Git hub but failed (Mac OS X). Do you have any tips on how to get in started? (I am a beginner on Github so I may make very simple misstakes). In the terminal window I get “Permission denied (publickey)”

And by the way. Would be prefectly happy to pay a licence, both for the software itself and to TT to allow perfect visual match to the original for example

Thanks so much, wiklander! That’s a wonderful compliment. I’m so glad you and your 7 year old like it.
I guess that the problem is occurred because of missing an ssh configuration. The easy way to avoid this problem is using an https connection instead of an ssh connection. So, please try the command git clone https://github.com/OUDON/emtumble.git.
By the way, I am trying to upload the executable of emtumble (.exe, .app). If I succeeded that, you can use emtumble just by downloading the executable.

Okay it’s been two weeks, time to let people play with what I’ve been working on:

The source code is here if you want to have a look:
Feedback of all kinds is appreciated!

BTW, your simulator has some kind of bug. If the ball rolls along the floor, the ball gets stuck.
Ah, I just tried the medium and large “standard” board configurations and I can see that the turnstiles are one row too high. I assume that’s what you’re talking about, but if not I’d love to see a screenshot.
Awesome. And since that is less than 20 characters, awesome again.
This is super cool!!! Well done, jcross! You made it so pretty, too. My favorite is when you add the balls to the hopper. They drop in the most satisfying way. This is really great. It makes for a great resource, too. Especially in a classroom, it could make a great demonstration tool. Do you mind if I link to it on the TT site as an educator resource?
OUDON - I know you’ve made one, too, for a different purpose. I’m excited to try it out when you have the executable ready.

@paul Thanks, it’s meant to be an homage to your brilliant work. And sure, link away!
Also, I was wondering if you would be willing to provide HTML or Pantone colors for the parts? I sampled them off a promo image, but lighting throws off the accuracy.
Thanks for saying that.
I had tried to making executables. And I had some problems, but I finally succeeded that for MacOS. The executable is uploaded to here. If you are using a Mac, please try it!
Tried it on my Macbook 12" with High Sierra 10.13.6 and it works really well!

Good to hear, thanks!
That’s great. I’ve gone to that site and set up one of my puzzle solutions, and ran it. It works a treat. The only question I have is, once I have set up a simulator, how do I save it in a form where I can post it on the forum?
Hello. I’ve clicked on the link and downloaded the zip file. However, there
does not seem to be an executable in there. How do I run this under Windows 7?
To make it easier to remember and advertise, I’ve created the following URL that links to @jcross 's simulator: tinyurl.com/turing-tumble-simulator

This is a really cool project, has there been any more updates since last year. I am keen to see how I can help port this simulator to Web3, so the rest of the world can discover it.
Hi all, i just got the TT for my daughter. It seems that this simulator is not mentioned here. I like it cause I can work with my daughter even if not at home.
Hi @OUDON: if the required output should be three blue, three red and then intercept the fourth red ball, I made a few changes in your original configuration, so it safes a few parts. I don’t know if that was also the question in this case?
How would you write what I did in code?
