Sorting Commander

Inspiration

I love interactive teaching and when things just "click", so that was the aim for the project. Honestly I was curious to see how far a single prompt of just a few lines would go. It went pretty far! The only reason I re-prompted was to customize the look and feel.

What it does

Show step-by-step sorting of a small array using Bubble, Selection, Insertion, Merge, Quick, and Heap sorting algorithms.

How we built it

The entire thing was built with bolt with a single prompt, only manual code change was dropping in the "built with bolt" hackathon badge!

Challenges we ran into

Honestly, not a lot. The entire app is fully on the front end, so wasn't a challenge for bolt. If I'm picky I was unfamiliar with quality prompting for bespoke styling, I'd love to customize that more.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Seems to work 🤷‍♀️

What we learned

Pretty impressed with how far a single prompt gets you. Useful tool for hi-fi prototyping.

What's next for Sorting Commander

Maybe looking deeper into sorting visualisation implementations, implementing more algorithms, theory notes. And even more retro styling!
