Guest Franklin Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 the sounds applied to various sorting algorithms> how does this work (very cool btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 This particular audibilization is just one of many ways to generate sound from running sorting algorithms. Here on every comparison of two numbers (elements) I play (mixing) sin waves with frequencies modulated by values of these numbers. There are quite a few parameters that may drastically change resulting sound - I just chose parameteres that imo felt best. but i actually remember a QBASIC demo program which came with MS-DOS5.0 which did exactly this, albeit with monophonic square-wave beeps pitched to the difference between subsequent comparisons within the sort data. it didn't sound that different.

kaini Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 bubble sort, FTW easiest to program as well, it's just two nested loops with an IF-THEN inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Babar Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I did some investigations about zipf distributions a while back. Basically I tried to see to which extends two zipf graphs can be different by using two word frequency lists (they both contain exactly the same words) so as to work out: X (rank of the word in the A list) Y ( abs(rank in A - rank in B) ). Here is what I got And here is how this kind of stuff sound with metasynth. MetaSynth 4 Demo Session 20090701 0102.mp3 BUT IT APPEARED THAT 1. I wasn't able to reproduce these shapes with random arbitrary datas. 2. These shapes were mainly caused by the sorting algorithm itself. So i wrote my own sorting algorithm in order to keep the sorting randomized (or something like that), and finally, i achieved getting something homogenous. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgbXNNKY5JE (in this vid i'm gradually adding words (=dots) to the graph. When the number of words in the graph is above 100 000, you can see the curve is no longer homogenous. And I can only hope this non-heterogeneity is not caused by some algorithmic artefact ). [/uNINTERESTING POST] edit : metasynth is quite crappy because it uses scales in order to convert pics to music. Anyone willing to convert the pic I posted to a sound with something else than metasynth ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaini Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 Epic as all hell. wtf is a Gnome sort though? just observe - it kinda skips forward until the second data point is smaller than first in a comparison, then skips back to put that data point in the correct place. suppose the way it 'runs forwards and back, tidying shit' is what made the person who named it think 'gnome' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
