Write a sort, watch it go

In plain words

Write a Sort, Watch It Go is a life and fun tool that lets users create sorting visualizations. Launched in 2011, it demonstrates how different sorting algorithms work by visually displaying the sorting process. The application is designed for anyone interested in seeing algorithms in action, making sorting concepts accessible through animation rather than code alone.
