A visual demonstration of the classic QBasic SORTDEMO.BAS program animating various sorting algorithms with sound.
Everyone has such fond memories of the games that came with QBASIC (Gorillas, Nibbles, etc.) that they forget the awesomeness of SORTDEMO.BAS. A shame that the sound sounds like a bomb full of angry cats being dropped onto an out-of-tune piano. Insertion sort Bubble sort Heap sort Exchange sort Shell sort QuicksortWhat people say. Recommended as a nostalgic and clear visual demonstration of classic sorting algorithms like bubble sort and quicksort.
