CodeSkulptor 3 is an interactive online coding environment developed by Scott Rixner and available on the website www.codeskulptor.org. It is designed to teach Python programming using the simple graphics module “SimpleGUI,” which is a wrapper around Tkinter for creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs).

CodeSkulptor 3 is primarily used for educational purposes, especially in introductory programming courses. It provides a straightforward way for beginners to learn programming concepts while creating visual programs and games.

The CodeSkulptor 3 interface consists of three main components:

1. Code Editor: This is where you write your Python code using the SimpleGUI library. You can write and edit your Python programs directly in the editor.
2. Graphics Area: This is the part of the interface where the output of your code is displayed. It’s essentially a canvas where you can draw shapes, images, and create interactive visual elements.
3. Console Area: The console area is used to display any print statements or error messages generated by your code. It’s useful for debugging and understanding what’s happening in your program.

To run your Python code, you can click the “Run” button, and the output will appear in the graphics area. You can also interact with your programs using mouse clicks and keyboard inputs within the graphics area.

CodeSkulptor 3 has some limitations compared to traditional Python environments like Python installed on your computer. It only supports a subset of Python modules, focusing mainly on the SimpleGUI library for graphical programming. This means that more complex Python libraries and functionalities may not be available in CodeSkulptor 3.

Keep in mind that my information might be and there could have been updates or changes to CodeSkulptor 3 beyond my last update in September 2021. To get the most up-to-date information and access to the latest version, I recommend visiting the official CodeSkulptor website at
