Consolidate separate visualizeDijkstra/visualizeAStar into a single visualize(algorithm) method and update the template buttons to call visualize('dijkstra') or visualize('astar'). The new method dispatches to the appropriate pathfindingService method, centralizes timing/animation handling, and reduces duplicated logic. Also apply minor About page styling tweaks: add left margin to the Experience h2 and remove the .xp-list rules from the SCSS (small cleanup/reformat).
In the sorting service, mark boundary elements as 'sorted' after each forward/backward pass and push snapshots to capture those states; also adjust the backward loop to start at end-1 to avoid rechecking the already-placed element. In the component, clamp new array size to the MIN_ARRAY_SIZE..MAX_ARRAY_SIZE range in newArraySizeSet. Adds an import for MIN from @angular/forms/signals.
Introduce Cocktail (Shaker) Sort to the sorting visualizer: implement cocktailSort and a helper switchValuesIfCorrect in the SortingService to generate snapshots for the animation. Add SHAKE_SORT_WIKI URL constant and a UI paragraph (with a link) plus German translation text for the algorithm explanation. Expose the new algorithm in the component (availableAlgorithms and switch handling). Also refactor the component to use Angular's inject() for SortingService and ChangeDetectorRef, tighten some typings (timeoutIds -> number[]), adjust default arraySize, and use const where appropriate.
Introduce Bubble, Quick and Heap Sort documentation: add wiki URL constants, update sorting component to show Bubble/Quick/Heap Sort explanations with Wikipedia links, and include additional disclaimer text and list in the UI. Add corresponding i18n entries in English and German containing algorithm descriptions, note/title and several disclaimer lines.
Replace plain container with Angular Material mat-card in pathfinding view and reorganize UI: add mat-card header/content, algorithm explanation block, control buttons, node-type toggle group, grid-size inputs, legend and results display (path length & execution time). Import and wire MatCard modules in the pathfinding component. Move .algo-info styling from the component SCSS into global styles.scss and remove it from the component stylesheet. Update sorting template to use new SORTING translation keys and add an UrlConstants reference in the sorting component TS for external links. Add/adjust i18n keys in en.json and de.json for sorting and grid labels to match the updated templates.
Refactor sorting to produce and consume SortSnapshot sequences for visualization. SortingService now creates immutable snapshots and implements bubble, quick and heap sorts (with helper methods) instead of performing UI delays; a swap/heapify/partition flow records state changes. SortingComponent was updated to animate snapshots (with start/stop timeout handling), added array size input and controls, stores an unsorted copy for resets, and uses ChangeDetectorRef for updates. Minor UI tweaks: faster bar transitions, info color, updated default array size and animation speed, and added i18n keys for ARRAY_SIZE (en/de).
Register touch event handlers (touchstart, touchmove, touchend) that call existing mouse handlers and prevent default scrolling (passive: false) so the canvas can be interacted with on touch devices. Update getGridPosition to accept TouchEvent or MouseEvent, read touch coordinates, and apply canvas-to-CSS scaling (canvas.width/rect.width and canvas.height/rect.height) to correctly map client coordinates to grid cells. This enables accurate touch interaction and handles high-DPI / CSS-scaled canvases.
Added controls for dynamic grid size adjustment and scenario presets (normal and edge case) to the pathfinding component. Improved UI/UX with algorithm explanations, Wikipedia links, and reorganized controls. Refactored grid logic for flexibility, updated translations, and improved code structure for maintainability.
Deleted the particles background component and its related files. Updated routing logic and constants, refactored topbar and algorithms pages, and performed dependency updates and cleanup in package files. Also improved i18n translations and adjusted TypeScript configuration.
Configured ESLint for the project with Angular and TypeScript support. Added angular-eslint dependencies, updated angular.json to include linting, and created eslint.config.js for lint rules. Updated package.json and package-lock.json with new dev dependencies.
Introduces a new 'Algorithms' section, replacing the previous 'Hobbies' page. Adds components, services, and models for algorithm categories and a pathfinding visualizer supporting Dijkstra and A* algorithms. Updates navigation and i18n files to reflect the new section and removes all hobbies-related files.
Upgraded Angular packages and related dependencies from 21.0.x to 21.1.0 in package.json and package-lock.json. Updated asset references in AssetsConstants.ts and made minor adjustments in about and projects components to align with the new Angular version.
