Abstract:
We present Vamonos: a new framework for algorithm visualization, designed from the beginning to support embedding, interaction, and unlimited scope. Visualizations are executed entirely client-side on any device that supports a modern web browser; they can be embedded into any website or online textbook. Users can specify breakpoints, watched variables, provide inputs to the algorithm (e.g., by drawing a graph using a mouse), and be prompted for interaction by the visualization. The core framework supports any algorithms and data structures that can be implemented in Javascript. We have implemented a wide range of visualizations of advanced algorithms topics, including dynamic programming and graph algorithms (e.g., spanning tree, max-flow, bipartite matching algorithms).
