Animated Sort Algorithms ---
Shows the behavior of these sorts: *Bubble*, *Cocktail Shaker*, *Insert*, *Improved Insert*, *Shell*, *Heap*, and three versions of *Quick". Download is 7.5 kB. Have fun...
Note: Due to the size or complexity of this submission, the author has submitted it as a .zip file to shorten your download time. Afterdownloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses, but new viruses come
out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them. For your own safety, please:
Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
Scan the source code with Minnow's Project Scanner
If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net

That's excellent! It's interesting to see how some algorithms do so much work on data that is already sorted! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Ulli, I love it. Very eye catching, informative and well written. 5 Easter Eggs for you! Thanks for another quality post! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Ulli this is great! Against all odds, you managed to make sorting fun (I would have thought that impossible given the inherent dryness of the subject). Thanks for sharing this gem; 5 big heap-sorted Easter Bunny poops for you :D (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Fascinating stuff -- especially good for those of us who approach abstract math and logic with pencil and doodling pad in hand. Thanks! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Great visualisation - this would be an excellent educational tool for comparing efficiency of the different sorting routines. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Brilliant! Clean and lean code! Nearly perfect. The Wait procedure should be changed urgently. The slower the speed, the higher the CPU-Load. DoEvents-Loops are good for glowing CPUs and therefore good for the power plants. Tip: Use WaitForSingleObject API instead. Protect the environment and save a lot of money! ;-) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
