Sorting-Algorithm-Visualizer

This is a program for interactively visualizing sorting algorithms. It aims to explain sorting algorithms to you in a clear way step by step.

The program is divided into three different sections that you can visit in any order:

1. In the section Explanation there are explanatory texts regarding the basics of sorting algorithms. Moreover, some sorting algorithms are described textually and graphically.
2. In the section Algorithm Visualization there is a tool that you can use to execute different sorting algorithms and see a graphic visualization, explanations and further information at the same time.
3. In the section Algorithm Quiz you can check if you can recognize a sorting algorithm from its visualization and thereby test your understanding of the different sorting algorithms.

The program currently supports the languages German and English.

You can download the current version of the program as an executable JAR file in the release section. Otherwise, you can clone the source code and build a JAR file on your own.

sorting-algorithm-visualizer's Issues

Window width?

Does the window width need to be fixed? The width of 1280 pixels of my screen is not sufficient, causing an overflow to the neighboring screen...

User input for sorting

It might be motivating to give the user the option to input his/her own numbers for sorting

Eclipse meckert - fehlende new??

Initial language?

When I start the program, the German welcome text is displayed (with German also shown as selected language) while the navigation bar at the top shows English terms. Switching to English and back to German works as expected.

Refactor messages?

Several messages in MainWindow.java are defined in multiple places. It would be better to have a single source for each.
