This project provides a visual demonstration of sorting algorithms, starting with the Bubble Sort algorithm. The application visually shows the process of sorting a list of numbers, highlighting comparisons, swaps, and the final sorted state.
- Bubble Sort Algorithm: Displays the sorting process in real-time, with color-coded steps to differentiate the various stages of sorting.
- Interactive Controls:
- Start, Stop, Step through the sorting process.
- Restart the visualization at any time.
- Color-coded Status:
- Yellow: Default (Unsorted)
- Blue: Comparing two elements
- Red: Swapped elements
- Green: Sorted
To run the project locally, follow these steps:
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/sminerport/SortVisualizer.git
-
Navigate to the project directory:
cd SortVisualizer -
Ensure you have Python installed. You may also need to install some dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
-
Run the visualization:
python main.py
- Start: Begins the sorting process.
- Step: Manually advance the sorting one step at a time.
- Stop: Pauses the sorting process.
- Restart: Resets the list and restarts the process.
Currently, the visualization supports the Bubble Sort algorithm. More sorting algorithms (like QuickSort, MergeSort, etc.) may be added in the future.
