Re: Animated Algorithms
#23Nice! I don't understand how to link the algorithm to an animation when creating a new algorithm? I'm clearly missing something.

#24This is really great. I always wished something like this existed when I was going through CS undergrad (and grad, for that matter). Have you tried reaching out to any CS professors to tell them about it? You might also spread the word by telling some "coding interview" blogs about it.
Feature plea: it would be awesome to have legible YouTube screencast videos of all the algorithms from sites like this for lecture purposes.
I teach various CS classes and love using these kinds of sites. It really is a powerful way to demonstrate concepts. Usually what I do is go to the site, choose an algorithm, then show the algorithm working with the default options. Then I'll change a few options and try it again. Then I might pick a different algorithm and do another demo. Then I'll share the link with the class and encourage students to experiment on their own to really understand the algorithm.
It would be convenient to have screencast demos doing the exact same thing as a backup for lectures in case there are any problems. Problems I've encountered: general Flash/JavaScript failure, projected screen resolution so bad that the site is unusable, site temporarily slow or down, sites with ads showing inappropriate content for classroom use. Video backup lets me not worry about any of that.

What browser are you using?

#27Earlier quoted context omitted.
more dynos added....should be smoother now.
Awesome thanks! The site looks great. It would be cool if you could add some support for algorithms that a lot of new programmers would be looking for. eg: DFS, BFS, and maybe Dijkstras. I didn't see any of those :(
Same here. Dijkstra's was the first I tried to search, to no avail :(

#28Sadly the website seems to have fallen over for me.
I am really interested in how it works. From what I could see it seems a bit more cumbersome, than my approach of a using full JS interpreter: http://will.thimbleby.net/algorithms/doku.php?id=bubble_sort

agreed, but compiling the code does have the benefit of providing syntax checking and you are assured the full benefits of whatever JS engine your browser is running. How do I create new algorithms on you site? I could not figure that out.
