Algorithm Visualizer

An educational tool that brings algorithms to life through interactive visualizations. Users can watch sorting algorithms execute step-by-step, explore graph traversal patterns, and adjust parameters in real-time to understand how different inputs affect algorithmic behavior.

Overview

An educational tool that brings algorithms to life through interactive visualizations. Users can watch sorting algorithms execute step-by-step, explore graph traversal patterns, and adjust parameters in real-time to understand how different inputs affect algorithmic behavior.

Architecture

Client-side architecture with React components for each algorithm type. A central animation engine drives the visualizations using requestAnimationFrame for smooth 60fps rendering.
