Introduction to the code editor
Key Stage 3
Year 8
Computing
You can access the Raspberry Pi Foundation Code Editor at editor. raspberrypi. org. If you want to be able to save and download your files, you need a Raspberry Pi Foundation account, and you can sign up and log in here. Click Start coding Python to begin. The Raspberry Pi Foundation Code Editor will automatically load with a blank project. The Code Editor has three main panels, the sidebar panel on the left, the code panel in the middle, and a preview panel on the right. You can resize these panels using the handles. The layout will adapt if you resize your browser window or if you're working on a device with a smaller screen. The Code Editor offers accessibility features, which can be accessed in the Settings menu. You can switch between Light and Dark mode, and then you can increase the text size. The project bar is at the top and it shows the name of your project with an Edit button, so you can change the project name, a button to download the project files, and a link to log in, if you haven't already done so. Each project will automatically have a file called main. py. This is the code that will run for your project. Let's have a look at some of the features of the Code Editor. When you add new lines of code, line numbers will automatically be added for you. Syntax highlighting improves the readability of your code by applying colours to different elements. The Code Editor will automatically format your code with auto-indentation. Let's click Run and see the code in the preview panel.
