Sortviz

Maintainability

Sortviz is a small terminal program written in Ruby and uses the Curses library It lets you visualize sorting algorithms, you can add more sorting algorithms at will but for the time being it can only load the ones bundled with itself.

However, for pointers about writing plugins, check lib/algorithms and check the plugin system at lib/sortviz/algorithms.rb.

Why

I blogged about this here: Software, a labor of love

Future

I want this to be a teaching tool, so I'll be expanding this to support writing sorting code using pseudocode instead of Ruby. Should be a fun little language design exercise.
