Description

Bubble, Insertion, Selection, Shell, Quick, Mergesorts. Traditional swapping-bars animation with user-selectable colors, number of blocks, a few data set choices, speed control, and AlgorithmSimulation-type readouts for number of swaps and number of compares. Also has bounce-along Java code.

Evaluation

Ugly in its default configuration, this is an OK visualization if all you need is an animation. May not do an adequate job explaining how the algorithms work (although there is support for showing what subset of the array is being worked on, a feature not commonly found).
