Kruskal v. Prim, to the death!

This semester I have an Algorithms course, and it’s actually turning out to be one of my favorites. So for our second project we were instructed to implement a Java applet which generated a set of nodes on a graph and the edges (or some subset of) between them, and then used Kruskal’s or Prim’s algorithm to find the minimal spanning tree, animating the process. And even though it’s Java, and even though it’s an applet, I’ve been oddly fixated by it lately. So you can check out my second implementation, which lets you pick which algorithm to use and then sit back and watch the pretty nodes. Oooooh.
