> Do we have a DNA simulator where I can write ACTG code and it tells me what kind of proteins will be made, how those proteins will interact to build complex structures?

Determining the physical structure of a protein from the amino acid sequence is NP-Hard : https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6965037

Without a very significant breakthrough either in computation or some biological discovery that gives a shortcut I don't think a "DNA compiler" will be available anytime soon.
