Need a way to code on the go

[BgG286]

I'm taking AP computer science online, but am pretty short on time at home, so I would like a way to code on the go. I have time in one class at school, but I can't install Java or BlueJ since I don't have admin access. Is there a way to do it on an android phone? Tablet? Or am I limited to having to use an actual x86 computer?

for what do you use it?

You can always set you PC at home to be an ssh server and access it wherever you have internet. (Works best in Linux)

There are some apps for Android that allow you to code very basic things but they're not very good.

If you used a console based text editor (eg. Nano, Vim, Emacs) with connectbot, this would be a very good option. You could leave your home computer on, or use an old one for this purpose only. You could then program in the text editor, and run it on the remote machine as well, and read the output of your program over the ssh connection. That is, if you are actually interested in running the program on the go.

 

If this is not the case, and you just want to write code, I'd suggest installing a good text editor with syntax highlighting for android, since that does not require a network connection. Vim has a mobile version which highlights syntax. Another option is 920 text editor.

If you have the money I would buy a cheap laptop. But if you don't I think this is the best option :
