nclandrei / Palgo

Description

A native app for all major operating systems (macOS, Linux, Windows) that will help students visualize algorithms in order to understand better what is happening "under the hood".

Built with ❤️ using Electron, NodeJS, VisJS and many other amazing open source libraries.

How to run (development mode)

Before starting the app, set the NOKQUEUE environment variable equal to 1 as shown:

$ export NOKQUEUE = 1

Afterwards, you can install dependencies, build and start the app with the following commands:

$ npm install
$ npm build
$ npm start

How to test

$ npm test

Roadmap

Change to ClojureScript and Om framework, generalize the algorithm animation skeleton so that implementing new ones would be easier for developers.
