A First Set of Design Patterns for Algorithm Animation
Guido Rößling · Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science · 2009
Design Patterns are extremely helpful in preventing programmers from “reinventing the wheel”. However, the algorithm animation area does not yet seem to have any Design Patterns, although there are several design issues that have to be resolved in many systems. We present two Design Patterns that address two central points in flexible algorithm animation systems: reverse playing and conceptual uncoupling to allow for easy extension.
