We support the following programming languages:

  • Python
  • Java
  • HTML
  • Pickcode VL, our hybrid blocks/text language

Learn more about project types in our programming language support chapter.

Editing and running code​

Type your code in the left hand side of the screen, and run your code with the green play button in the bottom right corner. Your code will auto-save every few seconds. And that's it! We'll dive into all of Pickcode's other features in other chapters.

Changing color theme​

Click the settings cog in the top right of the code editor area to change the code editor's color theme or the split direction of the editor and output panes.
