One of the best features in CryptoBlocks is something you might not even notice at first: the Peek Code button.

Here’s how it works. You build your program by snapping blocks together in the visual editor. When you’re ready, click “Peek Code” and boom - you see the actual JavaScript or Python that your blocks just generated.

This isn’t a translation or an approximation. It’s the exact code that runs when you hit the Run button. Want to see what a for loop looks like in Python? Build one with blocks, then peek. Curious about how if-statements work in JavaScript? Same thing. Build it visually, then look under the hood.

The code view uses Monaco Editor - the same editor that powers VS Code - so it looks and feels like a real development environment. You get syntax highlighting, proper indentation, everything.

Why does this matter? Because it means you’re learning two things at once. You’re learning programming concepts through blocks, and you’re learning actual code syntax by peeking at what you built. When you’re ready to graduate to writing code by hand, you’ll already recognize it.

Some visual coding platforms hide the code completely. They want you to stay in their walled garden forever. We think that’s backwards. CryptoBlocks is training wheels that teach you how to ride, not a different kind of bike.

Build with blocks. Peek at the code. Learn both. That’s the idea.
