Algorithm and Data Structure Visualizations for educational purposes built with an intuitive api. Open to contributions.
A project hosted by the Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Lassonde School of Engineering, York University in Toronto.
In the year 2001, students Sotirios Stergiopoulos and Hang Thi Anh Pham created Algorithmics Animation Workshop (AAW) under the supervision of Prof. Andy Mirzaian. AAW is an invaluable resource for visualizing and understanding algorithms. However, since its inception, the Java applets used have become increasingly more difficult to run on modern browsers, with some lacking support completely, discouraging students from utilizing the platform.
To be able to run the legacy applets, the Chrome web browser is required. Since most modern web browsers have stopped native java applet support, please install the Cheerpj Applet Runner extension to your Chrome web browser. Then you just go to the AAW legacy page and select an algorithm. Then click on the "puzzle piece" in the top right corner of the browser (which says " Extensions"). Give Cheerpj full permission. A page refresh maybe needed. The applet should start loading upon refresh.
AAW has been updated using modern web technologies in order to make it accessible once again and hopefully to preserve it long into the future.
Head over to the AAW website for access to visualizations.
Interested in making your own visualization(s) for fun or for deployment onto the AAW website?
The following is a tldr/concise summary:
git checkout -b feature/yourVisualizationTitle
)src/algs
as an example. Read the Visualization template
guide before you start, search for Visualization_Template
in the docs!.
Commit your Changes as you go (git commit -m 'Added yourVisualizationTitle
). Add your Vizualization
to visualizations.config.js
to include it in the compilation.git push origin feature/yourVisualizationTitle
)To get a local copy of AAW up and running follow these simple steps.
git clone https://gitlab.com/your_username_/aaw-main.git
npm install
npm run dev
