The class "TuringMachine" provides some tools for defining, running and analyzing simple Turing machines.
The class "MacroMachine" provides methods to define a macro-machine and simulate it following: Alex Holkner: Acceleration techniques for busy beaver candidates. In: Proceedings of the Second Australian Undergraduate Students' Computing Conference, 2004. S 75-80 or https://www.researchgate.net/publication/254389437_ACCELERATION_TECHNIQUES_FOR_BUSY_BEAVER_CANDIDATES
Using a macro machine can significantly improve the simulation performance compared to working with a basic Turing machine (however no speedup is guaranteed) .

Run TuringExample() for an example how the methods in both classes work.
Set a debug stop in line 6 of the function onestep to analyze the simulation step by step and see how the states, the tape and the position of the tape head change.
