🌳 bstree-tango: A Binary Search Tree Visualizer 🌳

bstree-tango is a Python-based project that visualizes binary search trees. Experience the interplay between algorithms and UI, brought to you by bstree-tango!

Synopsis:

🌳 Tango trees are a type of binary search tree (BST) introduced in computer science to optimize the number of rotations needed during search operations.

💃The main idea behind Tango trees is to maintain a dynamic set of preferred paths within the tree and perform rotations to ensure that the searched item is always within these preferred paths.

🔍 Requirements:

• Python >= 3.6

📦 Setting Up:

1. Install necessary packages: The project requires several libraries which can be installed via pip. Here are the installation commands:

pip install pyautogui
pip install dash
pip install dash-html-components
pip install dash-core-components
pip install dash-table

For a step-by-step installation guide of Dash, please refer to the official Dash installation documentation.

2. Running the Program: Once you've set up your environment, navigate to the directory containing main.py in your terminal or console and run the following command:

python main.py

❗️On the first run, the server might take a bit longer to start. Upon successful initiation, a local server address will appear. Copy and paste this address into your web browser to access the application.

🖥️ Testing:

• Console Version: To test the console version, navigate to console/tree/tests and run the tester.py file. This can be done either through the console (if Python is installed) or through any preferred IDE. There's a template within to guide you in creating test file names. The tester will alert you if search results don't match expectations. Test template format: count of numbers, range, actual numbers (sample tests are provided in the directory).

• GUI Version: For the version with a user interface, navigate to the GUI directory and run main.py. It's easiest to run this using PyCharm, which will handle the necessary setups for you.

⚠️ Notes:

• There seem to be issues deploying the project on Heroku due to missing event-driven libraries. Until resolved, deploying the project on Heroku may not be possible.
