I saw the post earlier about making maps using Python. I thought that was a really cool concept as I love seeing open art projects like that. Do you know any other projects that allow you to make art with code?

I made a sorting algorithm visualizer.

https://sciactive.github.io/libsortjs/demo/

It’s not really any different than a lot of other sorting algorithm visualizers. It has some additional features, like different visualizations, but it doesn’t have sound.

I didn’t do it to make something better though, I did it to make it myself. I wanted to implement all of those sorting algorithms myself, which was very fun.

I don’t know if you consider that art, but I think it can be beautiful, so maybe.

(Btw, it will happily crash your browser if you try to sort an enormous list using a really inefficient algorithm, so be careful.)
