Algomation is a platform for viewing, sharing and creating visualizations of algorithms in JavaScript.
Algomation Application
All algorithms are developed in JavaScript, the native language of the browser, but the visualization is performed with a simple but powerful API that requires NO knowledge of HTML or CSS.
Algorithm visualizations are presented on a player page which incorporates a graphical surface for the visualization, a source code panel that shows that actual algorithm source, a message area which describes the algorithm and how it functions and a control bar that gives you complete control on how the algorithm playback proceeds.
Algomation is platform for sharing algorithms so there are two different ways to meet this objective. From the player window open the options menu and select 'Share Algorithm'. You will see a modal dialog containing a link to the algorithm. Copy and paste this link wherever you wish. Openers of the link do not need to be registered or signed into algomation.com it use it.
The algomation site also supported embedding the algorithm on another site in much the same way that YouTube videos can be embedded on other websites. From the options menu select the 'Get Embed Script' command. You will be presented with a modal dialog that allows you to customize the size of the player that is embedded. Once you have selected the desired size copy and paste the embed script into the source for your webpage or blog. The embedded player is a stripped down version of the player that show only the animated display surface. The algorithm is run automatically within the embedded player. Clicks on the algorithm will direct the viewer to the full player page for the algorithm on algomation.com
