Sorting Algorithm Comparer

---

Lets compare some sorting algorithms, shall we ?

A simple, python GUI based program, to compare some of the highly common sorting algorithms, on how much time they take to sort a given data

---

Features :

• GUI Based
• Shows results with time taken by algorithms as well as sorted array result
• Includes a classic boot screen (surprise)
• A LoFi background music to chill while analysing
• 10 Sorting algorithms included
• Scrollbars, button as well as nice table to for comparison
• Exit Button :)
• Seperate Modules for sorting algos as well as booting screen. You can use it anywhere if needed.
• An unsed file - "loading_screen_with_cars.py" - which makes a loading up animation type with only keyboard characters.
• A small About-Me kind of page for small informatiion. Do read to know more and support :)

Algorithms Included :

• Selection Sort
• Bubble Sort
• Merge Sort
• Cocktail Sort
• Heap Sort
• PigeonHole Sort
• Gnome Sort
• Shell Sort
• Odd-Even Sort
• Cycle Sort

---

Libraries and Softwares Used :

• Python 3.9x (backwards compatible)
• VSCode for editing
• Python Libraries : -- Numpy -- Tkinter -- Custom Tkinter [https://github.com/TomSchimansky/CustomTkinter] -- Playsound && Winsound -- Image && ImageTK

---

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Here is how to install some of the important things before running the code

• Numpy

python3 -m pip install numpy

• Tkinter

python3 -m pip install tkinter

• Custom Tkinter

python3 -m pip install customtkinter

• Playsound

python3 -m pip install playsound

Installtion

1. Clone the repo by using this command :

git clone https://github.com/Gurneet1928/sorting_algorithm_comparer.git

2. Run the main.py from the folder and you should be good to go 👍

---

Usage

For Data :

1. Enter any kind of numerical data in the Text Box of Main Menu.
2. Click on Submit Button
3. Check the results of time taken by each algorithm on the bottom on the window
4. Check the sorted array on the bottom of window

For Music :

1. Click on the MUTE BUTTON on the top right corner to mute the background music
2. Click again to UNMUTE BUTTON the background music
3. The button changes its face so as to display the current status.

---

Possible future Updates/Improvements/Ideas/Etc. :

1. Support for more algorithms
2. Better GUI designs and adaptability
3. More information about algorithms
4. More music control options
5. Change GUI theme options
6. Option to add user-defined algorithms for comparison purpose Maybe some more that I can't define here, although these are only currently in thought process and no clear roadmap to implement them
