    I was hoping you'd implement (randomized) Kruskal's algorithm too someday. Used in maze generation especially.

    Hi Dan, since you are more and more going into maths and stats, I dare to ask you about the "shortest path" theory, or the "traveling salesman". From the days the internet did not yet exist. Your presentation here is teasing and I'm learning a lot but . . but . . I still have friends doing deliveries by van or truck going from street to street and address to home number. Maybe you are ahead of me and already have some lectures here – – in that case I'm interested.

    An easier way to copy everything would be
    arrayCopy(vertices, unreached);

    404 not found in both links could you PLEASE give me another link?

    That was really nice.. Could you consider implementing the Hungarian algorithm for the assignment problem?? Also thank you for all the helpful videos 🙂

    ahaha funny guy! I love the colours 🙂

    Nice one ..!!! 🙂 Can we expect T.S.P Algorithm soon ???

    Thank you.

    I stand corrected you had a reason: 11:44

    At 7:27 you could just use the JS pop function…

    this was great! I always love learning a new algorithm! thanks for taking the time to teach this!

    I can't understand why there's currently 1 Downvote on this video… I don't see any reason someone would do that. savage.

    Hi Dan, I asked you a question regarding mouseClicked and sound playing/pausing on an earlier video and I was wondering if you were going to cover the sound side of things in a series of videos?

    Hi.
    At the end yo did
    reached = unreached.concat();
    you should have done
    reached = vertices.concat();

    In this case, to copy the array you can use:

    arr2 = arr1.slice();

    Your tutorials have been really helpful to me! Thanks!

    interesting video! but one a side note: the video quality is a bit mediocre … image is not too sharp (especially when you're in front of the drawing board) even in 720p.

    I am currently studying Prims maze algorithms and would enjoy seeing you illuminate the subject with your special teaching magic. I think it compliments p5's graphical nature.
