Educational Accelerometer Games for Computer Science

Algorithm visualizations have been used a lot in computer science to help students understand abstract concepts such as data structures and algorithms (DSA). The most widely used algorithm visualization systems are all based on Java and, alas, are not usable on mobile devices. We tackled this problem by designing a set of assignments for mobile learning of an important concept in DSA, namely bi...
