This project is a visualization of the Sieve of Eratosthenes algorithm for finding prime numbers.

This project uses Typescript. To install typescript, run 'npm install -g typescript'

To build, run 'make'

Here is the pseudocode of the algorithm from wikipedia.org:

for i = 2, 3, 4, ..., sqrt(n) :
    if A[i] is true:
        for j = i^2, i^2 + i, i^2 + 2i, ..., n:
            A[j] := false
# Now all i such that A[i] is true are prime.
