Some Javascript visualizations that I admire, and would like to see similar kinds of things here:

• Red Blob Games: A* Tutorial
• Qiao Search Demo
• Nicky Case: Simulating the World
• Rafael Matsunaga: Genetic Car Thingy
• Lee Yiyuan: 2048 Bot

Step by Step to Try

1. Install Prerequisites.
2. Doing Installation.
3. Deploying locally.
4. Running Local Server.

Prerequisites

• Node.js version 0.10.0 or newer
• Install jspm, eslint, gulp globally

npm install -g jspm
npm install -g eslint
npm install -g gulp

Installation

To run locally for development.

1. run npm install
2. run jspm install

Deploying

To bundle the web app :

• Deploy Locally :

1. Serve build folder locally.
2. Run gulp bundle.
3. Run gulp copy to bundle the app into build folder.
4. Web app in build folder.

• Deploy to gh-pages :

1. Run gulp bundle.
2. Run gulp copy.
3. Deploy it to gh-pages by running gulp deploy.

Running

Start a local server, e.g. python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80 for Python 2.x or python -m http.server 80 for Python 3.x

Then visit http://localhost using your browser.

Note : Run local server on build directory after deploying locally.

Build

This directory contains the minified source code for production deployment.

Structure

The repository has the following structure:

• There is a directory for each chapter
• Each algorithm will have a algorithm.js where the main logic is to be implemented.
• Each algorithm will also have a c_algorithm.js which will have the javascript visualization.
• The index.html will include both the scripts.
• The c_algorithm.js will use AJAX to load algorithm.js into index.html as plain text for side-by-side reference of the reader.
• The index.html will also include main.js which contains minified version of global scripts like jQuery, angular etc
• See the index.html of chapter 2 for reference.

Contribution
