A State Machine Simulator
This is it: the last day of NaCreSoMo 2014 and the finale of the CS mini-tutorial. We learned how to build a lexer. We learned what a state machine is, and how they are used to match or classify text. And we built a parser, using our lexer, that understands a language that describes state machines.
Today we’re going to go all the way: actually simulating a state machine. You can also just skip to the fun part: playing with the completed simulator.

Pop Song Interlude
More time spent today on the last part of the NaCreSoMo 2014 CS mini-tutorial, but then spent the rest of the day hanging out with friends. I’ll call it a day well-spent. Here’s a poem made out of song titles selected from Spotify’s top 50 tracks in the US.
