• 📍 Step/Visit sounds (for graphs/trees)

🚀 Running Locally

Quick Start

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/UGilfoyle/Algorithm-visualizer.git
cd Algorithm-visualizer

# Start a local server (Python 3)
python3 -m http.server 8000

# Or with Node.js
npx http-server -p 8000

Then open: http://localhost:8000

Other Methods

1. VS Code Live Server - Install extension, right-click index.html
2. Direct open - Double-click index.html (some features may not work)

⌨️ Keyboard Shortcuts

Key	Action
1-9	Switch between sections
Space	Start visualization
R	Reset/Shuffle
