Re: Illustrated Sorting Algorithms
#3Just finished writing revision notes on sorting algos and I come across this. Damn it!
As already said, this is very nicely done.

#5Very nice indeed.
I did a basic hack on a sorting visualisation a while ago [0] and have felt for a long time there is a lot more possible with algorithm visualisation in general than has been done in the past. Hopefully we see lots more awesome stuff like this in the future :)

#6Fascinating!
Another sorting visualization that I like is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPRA0W1kECg. It is well-known but the way everything falls back into place at each time... that's very satisfying.

#7I wish it had a "pathological case" option for data to sort per-algorithm.
In particular: Quicksort, which (unless you're willing to make an (expensive) call to a (P)RNG per iteration) has a worst case of O(n^(2)) time.

#8No idea what this is. It keeps crashing Firefox for me. And unfortunately, restarting Firefox only restores the same window, sending me into a loop of crashing.

#9Thread Hijack: A little while ago there was a link on HN to a visual explanation of text compression, but I do not remember the compression format. It was the first time I ever understood how text compression works. There was a paragraph of text and the author stepped through the compression of the paragraph with an accompanying depiction of the original paragraph. Does this sound familiar to anyone? It was the first time I ever really understood text compression and I have been looking for it ever since. It was just text, no D3 and no flash, just plain old ascii.

I was interested to notice that Firefox (28) re-opened all of the pages except that one.
But do open it in Chrome, it's lovely.
