Abstract

By analyzing the characteristics such as abstract, complication and baldness of algorithm of C Programming Language and the problems existing in algorithm teaching, aiming at the shortcomings of algorithm animation at present such as single format, incomplete function, static data and lack of amusement, a gaming and instructional virtual algorithm animation is developed with strong interaction and dynamics. It focuses on the cases of select sort algorithm and implements the dynamic data acquisition and freedom of input, and deduces the sorting process actively. Take the case of recursion algorithm for example, it realizes the interaction and amusement of virtual algorithm. the purpose is to turn the complexity and baldness of algorithm study into direct, vivid, and interesting gaming study.
