What's new guys?

Names Riulus, I'm a novice Programmer just learning the basics of c++ and javascript. A few friends of mine from another game forum, Species:ALRE, suggested that I look at this game when I had told them of my idea for a better version of Spore (of which I had planned to program myself. Probably still will, but at least this would be good experience if I can master those languages fast enough). Of course, from the screen shots and prototypes, I've grown fascinated with Thrive and its community. I just haven't had the heart nor the time to join you guys until now.

Of course, being a novice in programming I haven't the slightest clue how complicated the code is going to be for this game right now. That's probably something I need to work on too. I am curious as to what language Thrive runs on, and frankly I haven't a clue where anything is on these forums. Any help you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated, and all I can say now is... Thanks for having me!  :) 

Welcome Riulus.
You have some luck, because Thrive is coded mostly in C++ and Lua.
