ASCII Sorting Visualizer

A simple TUI application that visualizes common sorting algorithms using ASCII bars in the terminal.

Quick Start

cargo run

📊 Implemented Algorithms

The following algorithms were chosen for their step-by-step nature, which makes them great for visual learning:

• Bubble Sort
• Selection Sort
• Insertion Sort

All of them have a time complexity of O(n²).
More algorithms are planned for future releases!

🎮 Controls

Key	Action
Space	Start / Pause
r	Randomize array
a	Change algorithm
q, Esc	Quit

🧱 Dependencies

• ratatui — TUI library
• tokio — Async runtime

⚙️ How It Works

1. Generates a random array
2. Runs the selected sorting algorithm
3. Visualizes each step using animated ASCII bars

🎯 Why?

why not?

This project was created to:

1. Visualize sorting algorithms for educational purposes
2. Have fun learning Rust and async programming
3. Experiment with building terminal-based UI applications

📌 TODO

• Add more sorting algorithms (Merge Sort, Quick Sort, Heap Sort, etc.)
• Add sounds 🎵
• Display performance statistics
