Dynamic visualization of algorithms with Fogsight

Fogsight offers the following solutions for algorithmic presentation pain points in programming education:

Typical Algorithm Demonstration::
- Enter the name of the algorithm (e.g., "Quick Sort") and the AI automatically generates an animation with step-by-step explanations, data changes, and highlights key steps.
- The system includes graphical comparisons of time/space complexity by default
Advanced Techniques::
- Add specific commands to optimize the effect, e.g., "mark sorted intervals with a different color" or "show the recursive call stack".
- Supplemental pseudo-code display via multi-round dialog (command: "add code box in corner")
Teaching and Learning Suggestions::
- For complex algorithms, first build a basic version and then add details gradually
- Combined with debugging mode (command: "show variable values changing in real time") to reinforce understanding
Case Study::
- Binary Tree Traversal: Generating Node Access Paths with Arrow Guidance
- Dynamic programming: table filling animation for solving subproblems

Tip: The source code can be modified to add syntax highlighting support for specific programming languages when deployed locally.
