Now added as a pattern in Golly: Turmites/DragonCurve.rle
Golly's Turmite-gen.py script easily converts this 7-state 7-color turmite to a cellular automata that uses 203 states. There are potentially 344 billion transitions but represented as a RuleTree it only takes 40kb to store.
I'd love to also add the universal computer and self-replicating turmite from his paper but currently Golly only supports 256 states.

Greg Turk has a new paper out (2025) where he presents several new turmites, including this one which draws the dragon curve fractal.
