Great work. Reminds me of Choc, an implementation of Bret Victor's Learnable Programming: http://www.fullstack.io/choc/

I'm really interested in solutions for visually explaining what an algorithm does. Anyone have any other resources they like?



This came up on HN a couple of weeks back - http://www.algomation.com/

A few sorting algorithms - http://www.sorting-algorithms.com/

Visualization of Path-Finding Algorithms - http://qiao.github.io/PathFinding.js/visual/

Lastly, Mike Bostock (creator of D3) has a really cool bunch of algorithms over at his blog - http://bost.ocks.org/mike/


I like Cortesi's take on algorithm visualization: http://corte.si/posts/code/visualisingsorting/index.html

My sense is that animated visualizations are good at giving an intuitive sense about performance, but static visualizations are better for understanding how an algorithm works. If I was implementing a sorting algorithm I'd rather have one of Cortesi's visualizations on hand.


VisuAlgo is also very nice. http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~stevenha/visualization/index.htm...

A friend posted this funny video series of sorting algorithms interpreted through eastern european folk dance today I just have to share! https://www.youtube.com/user/AlgoRythmics/videos


http://www.algomation.com/ has a lot of algorithms explained visually.

I also maintain a playlist with interactive explanations, which might be of your interest: https://gibbon.co/Steven/interactive-math-for-lasting-insigh...


Very cool list, thanks for sharing.
