Colors and Diagrams
Cyan/blue — values were compared by the algorithm
Magenta/red — values were changed, moved or swapped.
Yellow — denotes a region of focus — the values are not compared, but are being iterated. Thus yellow markers do not produce a sound.
Left diagram — is a kind of piano roll view. Each new line represents a new iteration of the algorithm. Values of numbers are represented by greyscale.
Right diagram — height of columns and values of numbers represent by greyscale values. Columns get sorted within the diagram.
