Sortify – The Visual Sorting Algorithm Explorer

Sortify is an interactive, GUI-based tool that visually demonstrates the step-by-step process of popular sorting algorithms. Built using Python and Tkinter, it is designed for students, educators, and developers to understand sorting logic through dynamic visual feedback.

Features

• Graphical User Interface using Tkinter
• Visual representation of sorting algorithms:
  1. Bubble Sort
  2. Selection Sort
  3. Insertion Sort
• Adjustable sorting speeds: Fast, Medium, Slow
• Random array generation
• Real-time visualization with color-coded transitions:
  1. Blue – Unsorted bars
  2. Red – Bars being compared or swapped
  3. Green – Sorted bars

Technologies Used:

• Python 3
• Tkinter for GUI
• Object-Oriented Programming principles
• Modular design using multiple files for separation of concerns

How it Works?

1. Launch the application using main.py.
2. Select a sorting algorithm from the dropdown.
3. Choose a speed for the visualization.
4. Click "Generate Array" to create a new dataset.
5. Click "Sortify" to begin the sorting visualization.

Each step of the algorithm is animated in real-time, allowing users to observe how values are compared and swapped.

1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/your-username/sortify.git
    cd sortify

2. Run the application:

   python main.py
