Fake Code Generator

This development simulation tool creates realistic-looking but non-functional code snippets resembling various programming languages, useful for mockups, presentations, educational demonstrations, or placeholder content in design prototypes. The generator produces syntactically plausible code featuring authentic indent patterns, comment styles, variable naming conventions, and structural elements mimicking real applications without actual logical coherence or executable functionality.

Users select target languages from extensive catalogs (Python, JavaScript, Java, C++, SQL, HTML/CSS) determining syntax highlighting schemes, keyword usage, operator patterns, and structural norms appropriate to each ecosystem. Customization controls adjust code complexity levels (simple scripts versus object-oriented class structures), specify thematic elements (web development, data science, backend services), determine line counts, and include realistic comment density. Advanced generators incorporate common patterns: function definitions with descriptive docstrings, class hierarchies with inheritance structures, API endpoint definitions with route decorators, database queries with join operations, or algorithm implementations with nested control flows, all maintaining language-appropriate conventions without functional semantics.

Practical applications include populating code editor screenshots for tutorial videos avoiding proprietary source disclosure, creating placeholder content for developer portfolio mockups, designing educational materials demonstrating syntax diversity across languages, or filling presentation slides illustrating technical concepts without revealing actual implementation details. The generator supports multiple simultaneous output panes comparing language syntax, incorporates realistic variable names suggesting domain context (user management, e-commerce, game development), and offers syntax highlighting matching popular IDE color schemes ensuring professional appearance in screenshots and documentation.
