Using the TIC-80 fantasy console simulator on your pi, implement a program that performs a sorting of a randomized list of values, both displaying an animation of the sort, along with timing and keeping track of the approximate number of steps needed to accomplish the task for variable numbers of non-animated runtimes.

The sorting algorithm I'd like for you to produce is that of a naive approach:

• not looking up anything about sorting algorithms, how would you implement an algorithm to take an arbitrary list of values and cause them to be arranged in order from least to greatest?

In future projects we will be looking at the specifics of established, existing sorting algorithms. Part of the task here is to establish a baseline: you exploring some process without existing knowledge or experience in sorting, so that you can become more familiar with some of the underlying details of what it means to sort values (so our later explorations make more sense).

Additionally, the entire class will be participating in documenting and filling out this project page. It is the responsibility of EACH class member to:

• ask copious, clarifying questions (so you can better add content)
• craft a coherent and organized document, with information located under pertinent headings
• explain the fundamentals of the process, conceptual background, algorithmic approach, and you can even suggest particulars related to TIC-80 (certain functions that might prove useful- individual, unrelated snippets to do things like capturing time, or displaying text, etc.)
• to get full credit, each individual that submits must perform no fewer than 4 changes to this document (as viewable from the wiki revision system). Failure to do so will result in documentation penalties being applied.

I'll be looking for the following:

52:saf0:final tally of results (52/52)
*:saf0:no errors, program runs without issue in TIC-80 [13/13]
*:saf0:specified algorithm is implemented and functional [13/13]
*:saf0:metrics, timing of process is implemented, functional, shown [13/13]
*:saf0:project page contributions as per project specifications [13/13]

Additionally:

• Solutions not abiding by SPIRIT of project will be subject to a 25% overall deduction
• Solutions not utilizing descriptive why and how COMMENTS will be subject to a 25% overall deduction
• Solutions not utilizing INDENTATION to promote scope and clarity will be subject to a 25% overall deduction
• Solutions lacking ORGANIZATION and are not easy to read (within 90 char width) are subject to a 25% overall deduction
