This interactive visualiser works alongside the code it's executing: http://www.bluffton.edu/~nesterd/java/SortingDemo.html Heres a similar one that was posted to HN recently: http://jasonpark.me/AlgorithmVisualizer/

Not sure how I feel about this, but the second link you posted is remarkably similar to my alpg[1] project. UI buttons, rendering, usage of Github gist for sharing, url format of shared links, etc. I wrote alpg 3 months back, and the that one has first commit 13 days ago... :| A bit weirded out by this but I am biased ofcourse. Should I care?

To clarify I'm not the author of either of the links I simply shared what I found. If you did decide to care you'd have to take it up with the repo owner.

One of my favorite sites that i usually share with my students is: http://www.cs.usfca.edu/~galles/visualization/Algorithms.htm... Many algorithms and nice visualizations.

Thank you. I use the sorting-algorithms visualization and it is usually a great hook for getting students to grok the rest of the content. It'll be great to have more resources.
