Re: Skybuck's Wolfram (Turing-Like) Machine implementation

After reading somebodie's else bullshit in another unrelated thread I was under the impression that pred and succ automatically wrap around, that's not the case.

I wanted the head to wrap around the ends of the tape.

This emulates a tape where the ends are stuck together in a circular fashion.

I am not sure if "wrap around" is allowed in turing machines... but this could emulate "infinite memory" a little bit better than just "crashing" or "hanging" because of out of memory situations.

At least now it will never run out of memory because it can just overwrite other older memory.

Here is the little fix/update/patch for the head movement to make wrap around possible :)

// update head position // wrap arounds possible. case mOutputMove of wm_left : begin if mHead = Low(TwolframPosition) then begin mHead := High(TwolframPosition); end else begin mHead := Pred(mHead); end; end;

wm_right : begin if mHead = High(TwolframPosition) then begin mHead := Low(TwolframPosition); end else begin mHead := Succ(mHead); end; end; end;

(Note: untested but should work ;) :))

Bye, Skybuck.

Does this mean you've perfected your resonant energy beam generator and are moving on to other things?

And weird questions like this were the prime reason for me and others to keep the "Flying Bucket" in the 'quiet cage' since years.

BUT: If you got any question about ASM-solutions I (or erveryone else in A.L.A) might answer it, because plain-ASM-x86 or sometimes even other CPU's related questions are the main reason why our A.L.A exists at all. Skybuck questions can be ignored, even I may see some creative potential, the obvious ignorance of this guy will never fit reality needs ... __ wolfgang

ther's no need to be aware, A.L.A members are usually kind :) as long you avoid to mention the never ASM-fitting shit: called HLA.

Judging by your persistent cavalier and condescending attitude, your refusal to carry on in a civil manner, and also by your inability to spell simple English words correctly, I'm sure you meant to say the users of Rene's highly inferior Rosasm would rather not have anyone mention the much more superior product of Randall Hyde, HLA, because they know they haven't a chance at succeeding while in competition with it.

You just couldn't refuse ending your post without taking a stab at HLA. So, now you must reap what you have sown; now you pay the consequences for your mistake.

Which is?

How?
