This looks interesting - thanks for making it available. I'm not familiar with launchpad - is there an easy way to download the source using svn or is there a .tar.gz file somewhere?

Thanks,
Dave

I agree.

Anyway, I made another page about the animator and I am posting a video there in 1hour.

Subject: Re: [Edu-sig] Algorithms Animator Open Sourced

Thank you. Presumably we could apply the same approach to teaching
elementary-school arithmetic algorithms, maze traversal algorithms,
and the like for One Laptop Per Child. I have suggested this to their
Education mailing list.

Algorithms Animator

https://launchpad.net/algorithms-animator

Python application that implements and animates interactively those algorithms that are normally covered in an undergraduate course on the topic. It includes Insertion Sort, Quicksort, Mergesort, AVL Tree Search/Insert/Rebalance, Depth First Search, Breadth First Search, Topological Sort, Prim, Kruskal, Dijkstra, LCS, Huffman- Fano, and more. It is extensible. All the API are exposed. It includes a ready-to-run Windows executable (bin/ AlgorithmsAnimator.exe), some documentation and a short tutorial about running time analysis (doc/csc321notes.pdf). This program was originally designed in 2003 for teaching "Design and Analysis of Algorithms" at DePaul University. All the algorithms in the source code (src/csc321algorithms.py) are equivalent line-by-line to the pseudo-code in the MIT CLRS "Introduction to Algorithms" book.
