Inspiration
I was inspired to make this project back around the time I went to HackNYU, but I wanted to do it as as a solo project outside of a Hackathon. I haven't had the time to make this project until now, so I thought now was a better time than any.
What it does
This project is a website for users to explore different algorithms. They can also input data and compare how different algorithms do, more specifically, how fast the algorithms sort the data.
How I built it
I built it in Replit using the Replit Agent and exported it to Github. The Replit Agent used typescript as the main language.
Challenges I ran into
When I got to the Armory on Saturday morning from my hotel, I discovered that my personal computer's screen was cracked and glitched, so the computer was unusable. I now have to go into the shop when I return home o fix it. Lucky for me, I was able to use my school Chromebook which often blocks websites and search results, but I was able to access Replit and Github. I also struggled to deploy my website from Github properly.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I'm quite surprised that I was able to get the Replit Agent to make something as good as it did. I thought I was going to have to make my own elements which might not have happened, so I'm glad I have something to present during the expo. Additionally, I'm glad I got to use Github for the first time and plan to do so in the future.
What I learned
It can be challenging when the unexpected occurs. I didn't know my computer was going to break or how it broke so I am pretty disappointed. I was still able to continue coding despite my setbacks. Even deploying the website was a struggle and I was unable to figure out how I might do such a task, but it was fun poking around my files in Github once it was connected.
What's next for Sort Analyzer
After I fix my computer, if I really want to, I'll find some way to make the website actually a website.
