Contribute

Please contribute in any way possible. This is my first javascript project, any reviews/edits are welcome!

I wanted to make the coloring of nodes happen sequentially, using some kind of animation because the search algorithm is very fast to be able to see. But the setTimeout method isn't reliable and I can't find any other alternatives. Any help is appreciated.
