'''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.<ref name=paper>{{cite web|title=ASEE PSW-2015 Conference Proceedings|url=http://psw.asee.org/AnnualConference/asee-psw2015ConfProceedings.pdf|page=158|website=asee.org|access-date=2016-05-04}}</ref> The flowchart can be converted to several major programming languages. Flowgorithm was created at Sacramento State University.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Kourouma|first1=Mathieu|title=Capabilities and Features of Raptor, Visual Logic, and Flowgorithm for Program Logic and Design|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/309354785|website=ResearchGate|access-date=16 July 2017|date=22 October 2016}}</ref>
==Origin of name== The name is a portmanteau of "flowchart" and "algorithm".<ref name=info>{{cite web|title=Info|url=http://www.flowgorithm.org/about/info.htm|website=Flowgorithm|access-date=2016-01-15|archive-date=2016-03-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160316213922/http://flowgorithm.org/about/info.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref>
==Supported programming languages== Flowgorithm can interactively translate flowchart programs into source code written in other programming languages. As the user steps through their flowchart, the related code in the translated program is automatically highlighted. The following programming languages are supported:<ref name=features>{{cite web|title=Features|url=http://www.flowgorithm.org/about/features.htm|website=Flowgorithm|access-date=2016-01-15|archive-date=2015-12-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151209113644/http://flowgorithm.org/about/features.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> {{Columns-list| * C++ * C# * Delphi * Groovy * Java * JavaScript * Kotlin * Lua * Nim * Perl * PHP * PowerShell * Python * QBasic * Ruby * Swift 2 & 3 * TypeScript * Visual Basic for Applications * Visual Basic .NET }}

==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.
