CS Circles depends on a multitude of free software, including Linux, Python, WordPress, CodeMirror, Polylang, and FlexiGrid. Our sandbox is a customized version of Mooshak safeexec. Thanks to Philip Guo and Peter Wentworth for building the original visualizer and its Python 3 port. The fractal banner is by Frédéric De Jaeger.
