Flowgorithm is a free beginner's programming language that is based on simple graphical flowcharts.

Typically, when a student first learns to program, they often use one of the text-based programming languages. Depending on the language, this can either be easy or frustratingly difficult. Many languages require you to write lines of confusing code just to display the text "Hello, world!".

By using flowcharts, you can concentrate on programming concepts rather than all the nuances of a typical programming language. You can also run your programs directly in Flowgorithm.

Once you understand programming logic, it is easy for you to learn one of the major languages. Flowgorithm can interactively convert your flowchart to over 18 languages. These include: C#, C++, Java, JavaScript, Lua, Perl, Python, Ruby, Swift, Visual Basic .NET, and VBA (used in Office).

The variable watch window is used to keep track of how your variables are changing as your program executes. So, if you are stepping through your program, the window will show each variable and its current value. This is not limited to just basic variables. Arrays will be displayed as well.

Each variable is color coded based on its data type. At a glace, you can tell exactly what type of data is being stored - and catch where you may want to use a different data type.

Integers are displayed in blue.
Real numbers (doubles) are displayed in purple.
String variables are a displayed in red.
Boolean variables are displayed in teal.

Version 3 introduced turtle graphics into Flowgorithm. The idea comes from the classic programming language LOGO which was developed in 1967. It allows images to be created by the simple actions of the "turtle" - a graphical "brush" that can be turned and moved to create images. The goal was to teach programming concepts through the sequential steps required to create an image. Flowgorithm has 3 flowchart shapes that implement the features of LOGO:

Turn - changes the angle by rotating the Turtle either left or right.
Forward - moves the Turtle the specified distance. It can move with or without leaving a line.
Home - returns the turtle to the start position and sets the angle at 90 degrees.
The introduction of turtle graphics will give instructors one additional tool to teach programming. For example, instructors could ask the students to draw a rectangle - first through a sequence of steps, then later, using iteration.

The Source Code Viewer can convert your flowchart to several major programming languages. If you planning to learn a high-level language, then this feature should help you along the way.

The code is highlighted using the same color used by the flowchart's matching shapes. This allows you see visually see the correlation between the code and flowchart. Also, if you highlight shapes in the flowchart, or you step through your program, the source code will be highlighted to match.
