Ever felt like slamming your laptop shut while studying algorithms? Yeah, me too.
That feeling when you're staring at pseudocode that might as well be hieroglyphics? Been there! The textbooks that somehow make simple concepts feel impossible? Survived that too!
That's exactly why I built Algorific – where data structures and algorithms finally make sense (and might actually be... fun?!). No more headaches, just lightbulb moments! ✨
Algorific is my passion project – an interactive playground that transforms those mind-numbing algorithm concepts into visual experiences you'll actually want to explore.
I created the resource I wish I'd had during those late-night study sessions when nothing seemed to click. It's like having a patient friend who explains things in a way that actually makes sense! 🧩
- Learn - Explanations written by an actual human who remembers what it's like to be confused
- Visualize - Interactive diagrams that let you see exactly what's happening (no more "wait, how did we get here?")
- Code - Real implementations you can play with in Python, Java, C, and C++, even Pseudocode (because we all have our favorites)
- Poke, prod and experiment with interactive visualizations (seriously, break things and see what happens!)
- Challenge yourself with puzzles that trick you into learning (sneaky, I know)
- Master the details with implementation notes including time/space complexity breakdowns (your future interviewer will thank me)
I've built modules for all the classics:
- Queues
- Stacks
- Linked Lists
- Binary Search Trees
- Huffman Encoding
- Hashing
- ...and I'm adding more whenever inspiration (and caffeine) strikes! 🔥
Algorific bridges the gap between theory and practice through interaction. No more "I read about it but don't really get it" syndrome - just hands-on learning that actually sticks!
