Watch the Busy Beaver #4 Turing Machine in Action 🚀

This is a simple demonstration of using Manim to simulate a Turing machine tape, in this case the TM being the Busy Beaver winner with 4 states. Interestingly enough: the TM model used for this definition of Busy Beaver was a 2-way infinite tape instead of 1-way that some definitions have, so some special handling was needed to get this to work.
