Read moreHELLO, PLIRO
A gentle start.
Room to grow.
Pliro is made for children, curious beginners, and the people who teach them. Learn the ideas behind programming while making things you can actually see, play, and share.
Think in your own language.
Start with English or Dutch keywords. Learn the same loops, variables, and functions, whichever words feel like home.
Build it. Then write it.
Explore visual blocks and readable text in the desktop IDE or browser playground. Both views edit the same Pliro program.
Make a change. See it happen.
Run your code and watch the live preview. Draw with a turtle, try a different turn, and learn by experimenting.
MADE WITH PLIRO
A little code. A world of possibilities.
Explore real projects in the desktop IDE and browser playground. Start with a drawing, build with blocks, compose music or watch live measurements in Labs.
Start with a drawing.
A function and a loop turn one small square into a garden of petals.
Bring a game to life.
Explore the Sky Springs example, with its code and game preview side by side.
Make your own characters.
Draw a pixel sprite and keep your pictures together in the project media library.
Compose your soundtrack.
Give melody, bass and drums their own tracks. Choose General MIDI instruments, enter notes with a MIDI keyboard, and try the metronome and tempo changes. The multitrack composer requires Creator Pro in the desktop IDE; simple melody editing and playback remain free.
Build with blocks in your browser.
Switch between text and blocks, add commands from the palette and see the result. Code and music stay editable, with undo across both views. Open the playground to try it.
Read the playground guide
Ask with a form.
Design and preview forms with Creator Pro. Basic forms through code remain free in Learner.
Paint a 3D surface.
Make a texture and check its seams and appearance on a real 3D object.
