Sortin Algorithm Simulator
An interactive visualization tool for sorting algorithms with Python GUI.
About
Sorting Algorithm Simulator is a Python desktop application that visualizes how popular sorting algorithms operate step by step. Built using `tkinter`, it allows users to select algorithms like Bubble Sort, Merge Sort, Insertion Sort, and more. This tool is designed for educational purposes, helping learners understand algorithm behavior through real-time animation.1. Discuss

1. Case study
Many students find sorting algorithms hard to grasp just from reading code or watching videos. I built a visual solution to bridge this gap.
2. Result
The simulator clearly demonstrates the internal workings of algorithms like Bubble Sort, Quick Sort, and more — showing every swap and comparison.
3. Experience
I improved my understanding of GUI programming and algorithm animations. It also taught me how to structure code for user interaction and learning purposes.
Project Details
The simulator lets users pick an algorithm, control animation speed, and observe each step of the sorting process in real time. The GUI is intuitive, and the animations are color-coded for clarity.
Built entirely in Python using tkinter, this project is ideal for students, instructors, and developers who want to visually explore algorithm behavior. It's lightweight, portable, and free to use.
