Rainbow Sort Visualisations

Really nice. The examples suggest to me that a lot of algorithms would be more accessible to people if they could be visually represented in some way. The timing is important -- the slowness of the bubble sort compared to the quickness of the quick sort gives one an immediate sense of why one would generally want the latter over the former.

Reminds me of this: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPRA0W1kECg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=kPRA0W1kECg</a>

I&#x27;m seeing waaaay too much stuff happen all at once for quicksort. Frankly, most visualizations give you an inkling as to the logic behind an algorithm, but quicksort just sort of pops the field into the correct order in a blur.<p>Another classic sorting algorithm to visualize is heapsort.

I love this as a visualisation. It would be great to provide links to the algorithms (if they were there, I didn&#x27;t find them).

This is awesome. One thing I&#x27;d love to see is the ability to slow it down without decreasing the block size.

Interestingly, I just migrated my Sorting Visualizer off of GAE this weekend. Its kind of similar - more customizable, much less attractive: <a href="http://aarondufour.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;aarondufour.com&#x2F;</a>

This is excellent and a great teaching tool. I tried putting something like this together a while back as a Java applet for one of my classes but couldn&#x27;t get the color ordering function to work correctly. Did you use HSB?

Nice. Sorry for the self promotion but seemed appropriate<p><a href="http://greggman.github.io/doodles/sort.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;greggman.github.io&#x2F;doodles&#x2F;sort.html</a><p>click one for a larger version<p>PS: My method of cycle counting may not make any sense.<p>See <a href="https://github.com/greggman/doodles" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;greggman&#x2F;doodles</a> for details

The first demo of bubble sort made me think the bottom row was being sorted and then the rows above were just the previously sorted row.<p>I like Aldo&#x27;s visualizations a bit better: <a href="http://corte.si/%2Fposts/code/sortvis-fruitsalad/index.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;corte.si&#x2F;%2Fposts&#x2F;code&#x2F;sortvis-fruitsalad&#x2F;index.html</a>

I almost got a seizure x(

Reminded me of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPRA0W1kECg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=kPRA0W1kECg</a><p>Only more colourful and interactive.

&quot;what&#x27;s this 20 do?&quot; &quot;I&#x27;ll set it to 1 and see what happens&quot; &quot;oh&quot; &quot;.&quot; &quot;.&quot; &quot;.&quot; &quot;no&quot;

Very cool! I second all the suggestions of adding more sorting algorithms. I might just try to recreate this myself in Processing.js...

Cool, bubble sort at (1) froze my tab.

How many times do we need to re-implement sorting?<p>Why do we educate students to re-implement sorting again?
