🧠 Practice & Learn

The Librarian's Dilemma

Help the librarian sort books alphabetically. Remember, you must move a book to the sorting desk before shifting others!

Simulation

High Street Cashier

Arcade mode! Use your keyboard arrows to shift and insert coins and notes into the till to build your combo multiplier.

Arcade Game

The Blind Dockyard

Sort hidden shipping containers by weight. Use the crane and the scale to make logical deductions.

Logic Puzzle

The Sorting Dance

Choreograph the robots from shortest to tallest. Use the waiting room to avoid crushing anyone!

Logic Puzzle

Logic Sequence (Parsons)

Drag and drop scrambled pseudocode steps into the correct order and indentation to build a working algorithm.

Logic Puzzle

Algorithm Saboteur

Watch the computer execute an Insertion Sort. Call an "OBJECTION!" the moment you spot it making a mathematical or logical error.

Arcade Game

Trace Table Jigsaw

Drag the missing numbers from the bank to complete the algorithm's trace table pass-by-pass.

Simulation

Playing Cards

A classic drag-and-drop exercise. Move the active card into its correct position within the sorted section.

Simulation

Array State Tracer

Predict the future! Look at a starting array and type out exactly what it will look like after a specific number of passes.
