Memory Allocator Game

The "Memory Allocator Game" is an interactive educational tool that simulates how operating systems manage memory allocation. Players learn about fragmentation and allocation strategies by dragging and placing memory blocks into a simulated address space.

Background

- This is an interactive browser game that teaches how dynamic memory allocation works in low-level programming (like C/C++). Players choose algorithms (e.g., first-fit, best-fit, worst-fit) and strategies (e.g., immediate coalescing, splitting) to manage a simulated heap of blocks.
