Arguments:
  [SORTING_ALGO]  [default: bubblesort] [possible values: bubblesort, insertionsort, selectionsort]

Options:
  -m, --max-val <MAX_VAL>                    [default: 1000]
  -n, --no-rects <NO_RECTS>                  [default: 150]
  -s, --steps-per-second <STEPS_PER_SECOND>  [default: 10]
  -h, --help                                 Print help

To auralize the sorting steps I am using the rodio library. Depending on the device and its drivers following may happen: If one goes above around 70 steps, the audio becomes asynchronous and above 100 it disappears completely. This is because the sine waves that get generated do not have a duration long enough for the audio device/drive on the computer to pick up and therefore they are not able to output them.

Currently tested on Fedora 38 on X11, MacOS 12.

Currently the following 3 algorithms were implemented:

• Bubblesort
• Insertionsort
• Selectionsort

• Rust Compiler, >=1.67

• You may need the systemd-devel package on Fedora based systems, in order for ggez to compile

• Add further algorithms
  • Mergesort, Quicksort, ...
• Spacing between bars?
• Add GUI wrapping rendering
  • dropdowns for CLI options
• Add cli option for audio range in Hz
• Improve sound at higher SPS, e.g., low-pass filter

• The algorithms were adopted from TheAlgorithms/Rust
• Used code examples from rodio and ggez
