Georgia Tech has done extensive research on algorithm animation, primarily focusing on the development of the TANGO, XTANGO, and POLKA systems. Additionally, they have developed an environment for building animations of parallel programs, and empirical studies of how algorithm animations work is being done. XTANGO and POLKA run on UNIX an X Windows. POLKA is the newer system which includes SAMBA, a front-end which is simple to learn, yet powerful. If you are running X Windows, click here to go directly to some XTANGO animations.
Webworks is a group from the Computer Science Department located at Montana State University dedicated to the design, delivery and evaluation of web-based educational resources. There's a special focus on animation and interaction. Numerous people have put a lot of time and hard work into this project. Projects, old and new, are encompassed by the Webworks Laboratory, and it is constantly changing and being updated. The older projects began on AppleII+ and projects have evolved now to the World Wide Web. Most Click here to see the current projects of the Webworks laboratory.
