Simple but inefficient for large datasets.\n- **Insertion Sort**: Builds a sorted section of the array by inserting each element into its correct position. Efficient for small or nearly sorted datasets.\n- **Quick Sort**: A \"divide and conquer\" algorithm that partitions the array around a pivot and recursively sorts sub-arrays. Highly efficient for large datasets.\n- **Selection Sort**:  Repeatedly selects the smallest (or largest) element from the unsorted portion and moves it to the sorted portion.\n- **Merge Sort**:  Recursively divides the array into halves, sorts each half, and merges them.\n- **Thread-safe arrays**: Unsorted and Sorted thread-safe arrays to decouple the frontend and backend preventing UI stuttering for large arrays.\n- **Notification Queue:** ***(Not Implemented)*** Queue's notification events decoupling the notification producer and consumer.\n- **Teaching Operations Queue:** ***(Not Implemented)*** Queue's sorting actions in a standardised way that can be displayed graphically , \n also decouples in the same way as the notification queue.\n\n\n### User Interface:\n- **Splash Scene**: Displays the splash scene logo.\n- **Prototype Sorting UI and Splash Scene** ***(Partial Implementation)*** Basic UI Layout as a prototype facilitating basic sorting and I/O functionality\n- **Notification Queue UI**: ***(Not Implemented)*** Displays important messages such as validation errors and info that needs the user's attention. \n- **Teaching Operations Queue UI**: ***(Not Implemented)*** Displays step-by-step operations like swaps, comparisons, and recursion documenting the sorting process.\n\n## Potential Future Improvements:\n- **Algorithms**: Addition of Heap Sort, Radix Sort, Shell Sort etc.\n- **UX:** Implement Playback Controls i.e.  play, pause, step forward, step back, speed control for the teaching queue.\n- **Accessibility:** Add the ability to modify the color scheme (color blindness), text-to-speech, ability to modify the font size etc.\n\n## Getting Started\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- **Java 17 or higher**\n- **[JavaFX SDK](https://gluonhq.com/products/javafx/)** (required for Java 11+) \n- **IDE**: Any modern Java IDE (e.g., Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, or NetBeans)\n\n### Installation\n\n1. Clone the repository:\n   ```bash\n   git clone https://github.com/HWStradling/MultiSorterFX.git\n2. Run the main method in the SplashScene class.\n3.
