Abstract
In order to be pedagogically effective, an algorithm visualisation is expected to satisfy a large number of requirements. One of the most essential and useful requirements is its ability to provide support for reversing performed user actions. In this work we will introduce a generic concept for an efficient undo/redo framework for three-dimensional visual simulations of algorithms and data structures. The framework uses the memento design pattern to implement a linear multiple-undo/multiple-action model with an unlimited undo of performed actions. It is straightforward to utilise and supports the automated generation of three-dimensional visual simulations of algorithms and data structures.
