Push Swap Visualizer

This project is a visualizer for the "PUSH_SWAP" 42 School Project.

Push Swap is a program that takes as argument a space separated list of numbers and outputs a list of commands that can be used to sort them.

  • Set the Push Swap program path (Absolute or relative path).
  • Compute the sort commands, it will display OK when done.

• In the Controls window

  • Load the commands in the visualizer
  • Start the animation
  • Adjust the Speed as needed
  • Pause and go Step by step to see the details of your algorithm.
  • Load to restart the animation
