tracedsa 1.0.0

Visualize Data Structures in real time — Python TUI + C++ backend

TraceDSA

Visualize Data Structures in real time a Python TUI powered by C++23 binaries.

Features

• 9 data structures with live ASCII visualization
• C++23 backend binaries via subprocess bridge
• Real-time operation log with color-coded responses
• DS info screen summary, Big O, pros/cons, usage
• Search and filter modules from the menu
• Min/Max heap toggle
• Works out of the box via pip

What is it

TraceDSA is a terminal user interface that wraps custom C++23 data structure implementations in an interactive Python TUI. It lets you explore how stacks, queues, trees, and heaps behave with live ASCII art, operation logging, and instant feedback after every command.

Install & Run

pip install tracedsa
tdsa

Data Structures

Category	Modules
Stack	Stack (Array), Stack (LinkedList)
Queue	Queue (Array), Queue (LinkedList), Circular Queue
Linked List	Singly LinkedList, Doubly LinkedList
BST	Binary Search Tree
Heap	Min-Heap, Max-Heap

How it works

TraceDSA uses a Python Textual TUI that spawns standalone C++23 interactive binaries as subprocesses. The TUI communicates with each binary via a simple stdin/stdout protocol (PUSH 10 → OK Stack: [10]). Every button press sends a command, and the response updates the ASCII visualization and operation log in real time. No STL containers are used in the C++ backend every data structure is built from scratch.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• Linux (Windows & macOS in progress)

Built With

• Python — Textual framework for the TUI
• C++23 — All data structures implemented from scratch (no STL containers)
