Simple Sorting Algorithm Visualizer

This project is an interactive sorting algorithm visualizer built with Python. It helps you understand how different sorting algorithms work by displaying their operations step by step in a clear and visual manner.

Features

• Visualizes popular sorting algorithms:

  Bubble Sort

  Selection Sort

  Insertion Sort

  Quick Sort

• Real-time animation of the sorting process.

• Easy-to-use GUI with simple controls.

---

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7+

• matplotlib, TKinter

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/nevsky-dev/simple-sorting-visualizer.git
cd simple-sorting-visualizer

2. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Run the visualizer with:

    python main.py

• Select the sorting algorithm you want to visualize.

• Press Start to watch the sorting process step by step.

Notes & Limitations

• The visualizer is designed for educational purposes and may not be optimized for very large arrays.

• Animation speed may vary depending on system performance.

• Some algorithms (like Quick Sort or Bubble Sort) may appear faster or slower due to the nature of their operations and how the animation is rendered.

• It is very simple, made only for educational purposes

• Only numeric arrays are supported.

• Quick Sort shows comparisons and swaps but does not highlight the pivot separately.
