Mixed algotypes implementation location

[dathinaios]

Hello,

I am trying my hand in some visualisation of the processes as I am trying to understand the paper and have a couple of questions if you have the time:

• Could you point me to the file that implements the mixed algotype sorting? I thought it was in multithread_cell_sorting_with_frozen_steps.py but I only see glimpses of it in the commented out code.
• Are we expecting sorting of mixed algotype arrays? For instance with 3 frozen cells would we get a sorted result?

Thanks!

I've been tinkering on a less top-down approach to this using the actor model, and wondering about the chimeric implementation myself.

I recently migrated my project from Scala to Python and was looking at this again. It looks like there are issues beyond the missing chimeric code, and I'm hoping there's just an unpushed commit sitting somewhere, here's what I found:

sorting_2d_cell_visual.py and multi_dimentions/multi_dimention_angles.py worked, but I read through a lot of code and couldn't get most of the stuff working. Some details follow.

It also failed for insertion and merge, on top of bubble.

Oh man I was just watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9lGNyPHurQ and this got cited, I would LOVE to see the free lunch stuff from this code! :)
