Sorting Algorithm Visualizer

       

This project visualizes various sorting algorithms using a graphical interface and audio feedback. Users can interactively see sorting steps for educational purposes.

Built With

• minifb crate - Window/context for rendering frames
• rodio crate - Audio playback for visualization feedback
• Pure Rust - All sorting algorithms written natively without external dependencies

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Rust toolchain (>=1.36.0)
• Cargo package manager
• Ensure audio device works (for sound visualization)

Installation

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/lowpolycat1/sorting-algorithm-rs.git
   cd sorting-algorithm-rs

2. Install dependencies (should be handled by Cargo)

   cargo build

3. Run the program

   cargo run

Usage

The visualizer allows selecting from:

1. Bubble Sort
2. Selection Sort
3. Insertion Sort
4. Merge Sort
5. Quick Sort

Sound Effects: Enable/disable audio feedback during sorting animations.

Bar Selection: Configure number of bars (50-400 pixels) to fit your screen resolution.
