Sorting in visual

Trying to replicate some sorting actions visually, motived by 'Sounds of Sorting'.

Demo video - sped up twice.

Old

Meh!

New

Sorts implemented so far:

All those videos are accelerated, factor shown on image description.

Console output speed is too slow to capture sorting under 10 seconds.

And pure Bubble, pure Cocktail-Shaker, Radix base 2 and 4 using bit shift is also implemented, probably not much use tho.

For visualization methods, horizontal_dot is extremely slow as it creates longest lines to overwrite. Bar or Dot is recommended for large N.

How to:

When you run async_main.py, you'll be prompted to type in N of times to sort, Sorting algorithms and visualizing method.

You can input multiple items, but Sorting algorithm section should have to be longest, as other factors are cycled with itertools.cycle.

Example setup that was used for video I've created and split to above images:

1 3 13 6 8 5 7 9 4 10 11
20 20 20 20 20 40 40 40 30 40 40
0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0

Copy-Paste this and it should show same results, same order. Might not if new sorts are added.

Implementation:

Scripts are designed to perform dynamic import for Visualization and Sorting Functions.

No visualization nor sorting is hardcoded, and will not require any modification or intervention.

Sorting Visualizing:

From MutableWrapper you will get clear idea of how this works.

By implementing MutableSequence abc to wrap a array.array one can get precise count and progressive actions/results as sorting functions progresses.

This also means not a single modification on Sorting functions, as long as it is designed to prefer main array, rather than aux.

For a future implementation of separated multiple sorting instances in parallel, all results are collected on asyncio.queue.

Visualization:

With use of closure one can create neat personal visualize method - only for horizontal so far - by one-liner.

I believe it's abstract enough.

horizontal_bar = create_horizontal((" ", "▁", "▂", "▃", "▄", "▅", "▆", "▇", "█"), over="█")
horizontal_num = create_horizontal((" ", *(str(i) for i in range(1, 10)), bold("X")))
horizontal_dot = create_horizontal((" ", *map(bold, ".·˙")))  # this runs too slow

All stock visualize methods:

 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 |100 200

Inline methods are meant for debugging.

ETC

And I'm failing to implement neither in-place merge sorts. lel. Used Merge code from wikisort, yet it's not working for weeks.
