Sort Visualizer

This is a GUI-based educational tool to provide a controllable simulation/visualization of a few popular sorting algorithms. A menu screen provides a selection of algorithms to view, and the simulation screen shows the algorithm in action while allowing the user to control the simulation speed.

This project is a "redux" of an old project I created to help myself study while taking a course on data structures & algorithms. This time around I tried to make it more informative, user-friendly, and easier on the eyes.

Algorithms supported

So far, the algorithms implemented in this tool are:

• O(n²) algorithms
  • Bubble sort
  • Insertion sort
  • Selection sort
• O(n log n) algorithms
  • Quicksort
  • Merge sort
  • Shell sort
• Non-comparison based algorithms
  • Counting sort
  • Radix sort (LSD)
• Others
  • Slow sort

To-do list

• Implement more algorithms
• Add real-time stats to simulation screen
• Add color/theme customizations
