Description

Visualization of backtracking using the 15 puzzle as an example.

Evaluation

The AV is set up as a series of "slides" in one pane, and pseudocode in the adjacent pane. As the user steps through the "slides", the associated pseudocode is highlighted. Occasional questions pop up for the user to answer. The AV includes a nice explanation of how backtracking works. The only real problem with this presentation is that the nodes on the graph are relatively big, and the tree quickly runs off the screen, with no scrolling available.
