VisuAlgo
VisuAlgo animates data structures and algorithms to help learners understand topics from sorting to graph structures.

About VisuAlgo
VisuAlgo visualizes data structures and algorithms through animation, with 24 visualization pages covering topics from sorting, linked lists and heaps to graph structures. Each page includes e-Lecture Mode explanations, support for user-supplied inputs including graph drawing in nine graph visualizations, recursion tree or DAG visualization for JavaScript recursive functions, and a linked online quiz component with answers graded almost instantly.
It was developed for National University of Singapore students in data structure and algorithm classes, but is also intended for other learners. Account registration is described for computer science students and teachers worldwide, the interface is maintained in English, Chinese and Indonesian with other languages redirecting to English, and very large recursion visualizations can crash a browser or computer.
