This example visualizes the Huffman encoding algorithm as implemented in Ruby, using the source text "MISSISSIPPI_RIVER" as its input data. It shows how character frequencies are tallied and then assembled into a binary tree via a priority-queue-like process, with each node’s value representing a combined count. The code’s `Node` and `CountObject` classes build the tree, while the `collect_binary_values` method recursively assigns binary codes by traversing left (0) and right (1). The final output prints the character-to-code mapping and the encoded binary string, but does not use any external visualization libraries—the display is purely textual, relying on console output for both the tree construction steps and the resulting code table.

Base64.js

This example demonstrates a compact implementation of Base64 encoding in JavaScript, showing how binary data can be converted into a six-bit character representation using the standard Base64 alphabet. The code defines a function, `encode`, that iterates over the input string’s character codes and constructs the output by bit-shifting values and selecting characters from a lookup string. It uses standard JavaScript string methods like `charCodeAt` and `charAt` alongside bitwise operators, with no external libraries or visualization components involved. The example serves as a clear, minimal demonstration of encoding logic rather than a data-driven graphic.

Exercise: Implement FizzBuzz (Super Edition)

This example visualizes the transformation of an input array of integers through the FizzBuzz logic, displaying the resulting array where multiples of three are replaced with “Fizz,” multiples of five with “Buzz,” and multiples of both with “FizzBuzz.” The code, written in Ruby, implements two versions: an initial hash-based iteration that maps each index to its processed value, and a more concise solution using `Array#map!` to mutate the array in place. The visualization does not employ external libraries or rendering frameworks; instead, it relies solely on Ruby’s core array and hash methods to compute and output the final sequence, making the data flow explicit through the two algorithmic approaches.

Gist b0f64c51570ca06b6602

This example demonstrates a recursive Boggle word-finding algorithm that visualizes its search process by printing the game board to the console at each step. The code uses Ruby’s `Array#each_with_index` to scan the 4x4 letter grid, and recursively calls the `checker` method to trace valid adjacent letter paths for a given word. A `draw` function outputs the board state, marking previously visited cells with the string `"NO"` to show the algorithm’s backtracking. The visualization relies on terminal text output rather than graphical rendering, using only the `p` method for display.

Gist 55439

This example visualizes the classic “99 Bottles of Beer” song through a Ruby script that prints each verse in descending order. The code uses a `Fiber` to generate each line of the verse on demand, demonstrating a lazy evaluation pattern within a `downto` loop. The data source is the literal song lyrics, hardcoded as string interpolation, with the `Fiber` API controlling the flow of text output. No external visualization libraries are used; instead, the rendering is purely text-based, showing how algorithmic iteration and coroutines can produce sequential narrative content.

Gist 23733

This example visualizes the distinction between local variables, instance variables, and block scoping in Ruby through a sequence of short code snippets. It shows how assignment semantics affect values across method calls and blocks, culminating in a Numeric class monkey-patch. The visualization likely renders each snippet as annotated code blocks with output values, using a custom layout or a library like D3.js to arrange the snippets and highlight variable bindings. The data originates from the gist’s source code, presented without external datasets, focusing on the logic of variable scope rather than numerical or spatial data.

Hept Tree

This visualization demonstrates how a Gosper Map can be constructed using a hept tree, where each node has exactly 7 children, based on the base-7 representation of a random number. The tree layout maps each digit of the base-7 number to a level, with nodes colored blue (full), white (empty), or light blue (partially full) to represent the recursive subdivision of hexagonal tiles. Each level of the tree corresponds to an iteration of the Gosper Space Filling Curve, and the diagram uses D3's tree layout with SVG rendering to show how a GosperMap can be built from islands of increasing order—from single hexagons at the leaves to compositions of 7^i hexagons at higher levels. The visualization is generated with D3 v3 and CoffeeScript, displaying the random number conversion and its corresponding hept tree structure.

Gist 119211

This example visualizes the Mandelbrot set as a fixed ASCII-art plot in a terminal, using Ruby’s `Complex` class to iterate the function `z*z + c` fifty times per point. The code samples a 2D grid over the complex plane—x from -2.0 to 0.5 and y from 1.0 to -1.0—and prints an asterisk when the final magnitude is less than 2, otherwise a space. It shows a symmetric, high-level fractal silhouette rendered entirely with text characters, with no graphical libraries involved. The rendering approach relies on nested `step` loops and `Array.new(50,a).inject` to perform the iteration, producing the classic bulb-and-spiral structure directly in the console output.

Gist 182074

This example visualizes a short Apache configuration snippet from a gist, showing how a developer integrates Phusion Passenger with Ruby version management. The code demonstrates the use of `LoadModule` and `PassengerRuby` directives to switch between system Ruby and RVM-managed Ruby 1.8.6, with the data source being the gist’s raw text file. The visualization likely uses a text-based rendering approach, such as a syntax-highlighted code block, rather than a charting library, since the content is purely textual. No graphical libraries like `d3` or Three.js are employed; instead, the focus is on presenting the configuration lines as-is.
