Animated Algorithms

Featured algorithms are on the homepage or these are good examples of the site:<p><a href="http://www.algomation.com/algorithm/towers-hanoi-recursive-visualization" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.algomation.com&#x2F;algorithm&#x2F;towers-hanoi-recursive-v...</a><p><a href="http://www.algomation.com/algorithm/dijkstra-graph-shortest-path-london-underground" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.algomation.com&#x2F;algorithm&#x2F;dijkstra-graph-shortest-...</a><p><a href="http://www.algomation.com/algorithm/reversi-othello-engine-negamax-zobrist-history-heuristic" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.algomation.com&#x2F;algorithm&#x2F;reversi-othello-engine-n...</a><p><a href="http://www.algomation.com/algorithm/heap-sort-priority-queue" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.algomation.com&#x2F;algorithm&#x2F;heap-sort-priority-queue</a>

Instead of the animation speed setting it should have a slider (like, for instance, here <a href="http://debug.elm-lang.org/edit/Mario.elm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;debug.elm-lang.org&#x2F;edit&#x2F;Mario.elm</a>). Otherwise, it&#x27;s more like a nice animation than a learning tool.

Great site! I would suggest a list of &quot;related algorithms&quot; on each animation, for example if you want to look through all the sorting algorithms.

I&#x27;m not sure if the site is having issues, or if I am just searching the wrong algorithms :(<p>Can you link me directly to an algorithm to check out the animation?

This is really great. I always wished something like this existed when I was going through CS undergrad (and grad, for that matter). Have you tried reaching out to any CS professors to tell them about it? You might also spread the word by telling some &quot;coding interview&quot; blogs about it.

Sadly the website seems to have fallen over for me.<p>I am really interested in how it works. From what I could see it seems a bit more cumbersome, than my approach of a using full JS interpreter: <a href="http://will.thimbleby.net/algorithms/doku.php?id=bubble_sort" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;will.thimbleby.net&#x2F;algorithms&#x2F;doku.php?id=bubble_sort</a>

When you restart a visualization, it automatically switches back to &#x27;continuous&#x27; even if you had single-step selected. Making it easier to start from the very beginning would be beneficial I think. Just a suggestion.

Very pretty, reminds me of <a href="http://www.cs.usfca.edu/~galles/visualization/Algorithms.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cs.usfca.edu&#x2F;~galles&#x2F;visualization&#x2F;Algorithms.htm...</a>

Djikstra&#x27;s Shortest Path crashes my browser (Chrome 37.0.2062.120)

Needs a caching algorithm.

Nice! I don&#x27;t understand how to link the algorithm to an animation when creating a new algorithm? I&#x27;m clearly missing something.

<a href="http://www.algomation.com/search?q=bogosort" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.algomation.com&#x2F;search?q=bogosort</a><p>nothing :P

Damn where was this while I was in university! I&#x27;m definitely a visual learner and these are great! Thanks OP.

traffic issues aside, great job. Quality resource, will recomend to cs undergrad friends

I added a few more dynos...nice and smooth now. Apologies. -duncan meech

I desperately need delaunay triangulation

Appears to be falling over.

Just searched for bubble sort.<p>Impressive! So much easier when you get to see an animation of what it does<p><a href="http://www.algomation.com/algorithm/bubble-sort-optimized" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.algomation.com&#x2F;algorithm&#x2F;bubble-sort-optimized</a>

site doesn&#x27;t work on my browser- this is 2014.

Does it really need to reload the whole page to change to a new algo? Creates a crazy history trail you&#x27;ll have to backspam through.
