Visualization

Abstract

Visualizations are often used to teach abstract concepts like algorithms and data structures. In this poster, we present a drawing game, DSAsketch, that can be used to practice a wide range of concepts related to data structures and algorithms. During the game, the players are viewing, constructing and presenting their own visualizations. Thus, players are required to engage with the visualizations in many different ways.
