Description

Haha, love that idea! A snowy effect is a classic fun feature and a perfect "good first issue" because Streamlit makes it incredibly easy to do.

Here is a ready-to-post GitHub issue for it. This one is designed to be fun and very welcoming for a brand new contributor.

Title: feat: Let it snow! Add a toggleable snow effect to the UI

Description:

Let's add a bit of winter magic to the algorithm visualizer! This is a fun, purely cosmetic feature to make the app more delightful to use. Streamlit has a built-in command to create a beautiful falling snow effect.

The goal is to add this snow effect but also give the user control to turn it on and off.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Use Streamlit's st.snow() method to create the snow effect and add a checkbox to toggle it on and off.
