Description

Let's bring our visualizer to life! This issue is about adding a small animated character that runs across the screen, perfectly in sync with the sorting algorithm's progress. When the progress bar starts, the character starts running, and when it finishes, the character reaches the finish line.

This will make the application dramatically more fun and engaging.
