Update package-lock with multiple dependency bumps (Angular CLI/DevKit/schematics to 21.1.5, ajv to 8.18.0, minimatch/brace-expansion updates, tar, qs, swiper, hono, etc.). Wrap the generic grid canvas in a container and clean up HTML structure/indentation in algorithms and pathfinding templates (add card-grid wrapper and reformat content). Adjust global styles: refine .algo-container and app-root margins/gaps, and refactor hero/photo/intro styles for responsive layout. Changes are primarily dependency updates and UI/layout refinements.
Introduce a new cloth simulation feature: adds ClothComponent (TS/HTML/SCSS) and WGSL compute/vertex/fragment shaders implementing an XPBD-based cloth sim. Wire up routing and RouterConstants, add the cloth entry to the algorithms list, and add English/German i18n strings. Also include small refactors/renames for algorithm-category and algorithms.service imports and update BabylonCanvas to tolerate optional shader configuration and avoid null access during setup.
Move component-level styles into src/styles.scss and remove duplicated rules from several component SCSS files (app, topbar, about, algorithms, sorting, imprint, project dialog, projects, babylon-canvas). The global stylesheet now centralizes layout and typography (clamp-based sizing), sorting visualization & canvas rules, topbar/menu overrides, project/swiper styles, and shared utilities. This reduces duplication, improves responsiveness, and simplifies stylesheet management.
Introduce a new Pendulum demo (component, template, stylesheet) and wire it into routing and the algorithms list. Extend Babylon canvas API to emit a SceneReadyEvent (scene + engine) and accept a shaderLanguage option in RenderConfig so materials/shaders can target WGSL; update Fractal to consume the new SceneReadyEvent signature. Also add i18n entries for the pendulum demo.
Implement Prim and Kruskal maze generation in the Labyrinth component with animated generation and UI guards. Introduces isAnimationRunning signal, mazeAnimationSpeed, maze node order tracking and animateMazeGeneration; createRandom(now takes a boolean) triggers either Prim or Kruskal flow, sets random start/end, and animates. Refactor Node.distance -> nodeData across models, components and the PathfindingService (Dijkstra/A*) to use nodeData for g-scores/ids. Add SharedFunctions.shuffleArray utility and update i18n (EN/DE) with labels for Prim/Kruskal. Misc: minor cleanup/init changes and drawing logic adjustments to support the new maze flows.
Introduce a new Labyrinth feature: add LabyrinthComponent (TS/HTML/SCSS) implementing maze generation (Prim's/Kruskal) and visualization using the existing generic grid. Wire the component into RouterConstants and app.routes, and add the algorithm entry to AlgorithmsService. Refactor pathfinding internals: rename Node.previousNode -> Node.linkedNode and update PathfindingService and PathfindingComponent accordingly. Add SharedFunctions.random helpers and replace local random utilities. Rename Conway component files/class to ConwayGolComponent and update template path. Add i18n entries for labyrinth (en/de). Minor housekeeping: bump package version to 1.0.0 and disable @typescript-eslint/prefer-for-of in ESLint config.
Conway GOL: add executionTime tracking and display; switch to double-buffered read/write grids with structuredClone initialization; refactor life update logic (checkLifeRules, swapGrids) to avoid mutating the source while computing the next generation; adjust per-frame delay to account for execution time; increase MAX_GRID_SIZE from 100 to 200; fix grid binding to use readGrid so UI reflects internal state.
Generic grid: add backgroundColor input and use it to clear canvas each frame; only draw cells whose color differs from background and draw grid lines conditionally based on node size to reduce overdraw; adjust drawNode to only stroke borders for larger nodes.
Templates: set backgroundColor='lightgray' for Conway and Pathfinding grid usages; display execution time in Conway UI.
Misc: remove a debug console.log in sorting component. These changes improve rendering performance, reduce flicker, and surface per-frame timing for tuning the Game of Life simulation.
Add a reusable GenericGridComponent (canvas + input handling) and migrate Conway Game of Life and Pathfinding pages to use it. New files: shared/components/generic-grid/{html,scss,ts} implement canvas rendering, resizing, input listeners and a callback API (createNodeFn, getNodeColorFn, applySelectionFn, initializationFn) plus gridChange events. Updated templates to replace raw <canvas> with <app-generic-grid> and switched grid size inputs to ngModelChange bindings. Conway and Pathfinding components: remove direct canvas/mouse handling, wire the generic grid callbacks, keep algorithm-specific logic (node creation, coloring, selection, scenarios and animations) but delegate drawing and interaction to GenericGridComponent. This centralizes grid rendering/interaction and simplifies per-algorithm components.
