What is FAUMachine?

FAUMachine is an open-source, cross-platform application for designing, visualizing, and simulating finite automata. It allows users to create nondeterministic and deterministic finite automata (NFAs and DFAs), convert them into state diagrams, minimize DFAs, and test them with input strings.

Some key features of FAUMachine include:

• Intuitive drag-and-drop interface for creating states and transitions
• Options for changing state names, marking initial/final states, and adding transition labels
• One-click conversion from NFAs to DFAs
• Automatic minimization of DFAs using efficient algorithms
• Simulation mode to enter input strings and visualize how the automaton processes each character
• Clean state diagram view with customizable styling options
• Import/export automata as text files
• Available on Windows, Mac, and Linux

FAUMachine has a simple learning curve and was designed specifically for classroom use. Its step-by-step workflow makes it easy for students and teachers to focus on understanding key finite automata concepts without getting distracted by unnecessary features. The open-source development also allows advanced users to expand on the tool and customize it for their needs.
