Abstract
Animation is a useful tool in teaching and developing algorithms. The idea of animating algorithm executions was suggested in the sixties, but the technology for producing real-time animations with reasonable cost matured in the early eighties. Since then several animation systems have been developed. The most influential of these systems are surveyed in this paper. A closer look will be taken at the animation system aladdin which is being developed in the University of Tampere.
