Flowgorithm is a graphical authoring tool which allows users to write and execute programs using flowcharts. The approach is designed to emphasize the algorithm rather than the syntax of a specific programming language. The flowchart can be converted to several major programming languages.

Origin of name
The name is a portmanteau of "flowchart" and "algorithm".
Supported Programming Languages
Flowgorithm can interactively generate programs in the following programming languages: As the user steps through the program, the related code is highlighted.
Multilingual support
Besides English, Flowgorithm supports other languages. These are:
Graphical shapes
Flowgorithm combines the classic flowchart symbols and those used by SDL diagrams. The color of each shape is shared by the associated generated code and the console window. The colors can be changed to several built-in themes.
Example
The image below has the solution for 99 Bottles of Beer. A function is used to return a string that either contains the singular "bottle" or plural "bottles" depending on the value of the parameter.
