Visualizing the Turing Tarpit

This project visualizes the behavior of many Jot programs simultaneously. Each circle in the visualization represents a program, and its size and color reflect execution time. Non-terminating programs are marked in black.

The visualization uses a Hilbert Curve to map random bit strings (Jot programs) onto a 2D plane.

Project Overview

  • Visualization Description: Programs are represented as circles whose size and color evolve over time. Longer programs tend to execute slower, causing visual growth of the circles.
  • Background: For further details, see our submission to FARM 2013.

Installation

This project includes JavaScript and CSS dependencies that are included locally, so no additional setup is required.

How to Run

  1. Open the index.html file in your browser by double-clicking it or dragging it into a browser window.
  2. The visualization should load and run automatically.
