SortingAlgorithmVisualizer

Description

This project is a simple sorting algorithm visualizer. It generates a random list of values from 0 - 100 and sorts them using the bubble sort and insertion sort algorithm implemented in Python Upon running this code, a pygame window will pop up with a bar graph of the random values and options to choose which sorting algorithm to implement.

• My motivation for this project
• I built this visualizer to familarize myself with how sorting algorithms work and this program allows me to see the algorithm in action. I plan to expand on this project by implementing other algorithms such as heap sort, selection sort, etc.

Installation

1. To use this program, first clone the repository --> https://github.com/jessica-nam/SortingAlgorithmVisualizer.git into any editor

2. Make sure python is installed --> python --version If python is not installed --> https://www.python.org/

3. Check for pip installation --> pip --version If pip is not installed --> python get-pip.py

4. Install PyGame --> pip install pygame

Usage

Before sorting...

After sorting...
