Yes, a few hours is probably a reasonable design time for a simple "batch mode" Turing machine emultor (read a data file with the State Machine description and the starting tape, and then print a trace of it running, maybe including a simple loop detector to stop the obviously non-halting machines. Of course, fancy graphics could make it a bottomless pit. I likely wouldn't choose C to do it in, but it is do able. (A RASP emulator would want a language with bignum support, but that isn't needed for a Turing Machine.
