Description

Bar-swapping in a stepwise or continuous fashion with explanations of the code taking place. Instrumented for AlgorithmSimulation (compares and copies). Also has a separate simulation mode which dispenses with the swapping bars.

Evaluation

One of the best swapping-bars visualizations, since it includes a stepwise component. Main drawback is no ability to add your own datasets, and the built-in dataset is randomized each time.
