Sorting Algorithms Visualized

SAV, short for Sorting Algorithms Visualized, is a desktop app that shows how an array is being sorted using different algorithms.

I made it using pure C and SDL2 for graphics, you can take a look at it's source code on Github.

The main purpose of this app was to put in practice the knowledge I gained in C as well with algorithms, and it was like a challenge since I have never used SDL2 graphics before. In the end it was a very enjoyable project since SDL2 per se is a very simple and easy to use library.

Currently the following sorting algorithms can be displayed:

bubble sort improved
insertion sort
merge sort wrapper
quick sort wrapper
shell sort
selection sort
heap sort

but in a future I would like to add more algorithms, as well as sound.
