| 21 | 3 This project is inspired by - off course - the video by Timo Bingmann called [15 sorting algorithms in 6 minutes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPRA0W1kECg). |
| 4 | |
| 24 | 5  |
| 6 ` within `while` or `for loops` to redraw the screen in every | |
| 17 step of the selected sorting algorithm. I guess the solution is multi-threading, so I can perform the sorting in the second thread | |
| 18 and post notifications to the main thread to redraw the screen. | |
| 19 | |
| 20 Since this is my first OpenGL project and just my second program in C, I am tired and I don't want to spend more time in this project, | |
| 21 but maybe in the future I'll do it. Right now there are just two algorithms supported. I've implemented them in a way that every function | |
| 22 call is a single step of the sorting. So, storing the "state" outside the function, I can use `idle()` as the loop of the sorting algorithm. | |
| 23 | |
| 24 Let's say we selected `bubble sort`. Once you press `ENTER`, the process will be like this: | |
| 25 | |
| 26 ```c | |
| 27 run = true; | |
| 28 bubble_sort(); | |
| 29 glutPostRedisplay; | |
| 30 bubble_sort(); | |
| 31 glutPostRedisplay; | |
| 32 bubble_sort(); | |
| 33 glutPostRedisplay; | |
| 34 | |
| 35 // Continue until the array is sorted | |
| 36 run = false; | |
| 37 ``` |
