| I'm Siebren, 14 years old. I've decided to do a re-application because I have some useful skills now.
I have teached myself Blender and learned Html. I'm currently busy with CSS, Javascript and Lua.
I hereby ask if I can be added to the developers group.
Also, I have summer-vacation, so I have plenty of time. :D
(note: This was done in the last few days, so I won't be very fast.) | |

| Aww Belguim yeah! Thrive inspires yet another person to learn some cool skills. You're as old as I was when I first started learning to code, more or less the perfect age to pick up coding.
I'd say focus on the Lua, cuz I'm a programmer and I want more programmers, but an HTML/CSS/JS/JQuery core is definitely a good starting point with easy-to-see results. What learning resources are you using? To help with learning Lua, I'll take a look through the code and see what parts are easy to mod. I love teaching people things, especially programming, so if you want someone who's still young enough to remember the problems they had learning to code, I'm here, ask me anything. | |

| I could do a little Python since I was 12. A little younger than you.
I'm first going to see for myself. If I have any problems, then I will gladly ask (which will most likely not happen). | |

| Even better!
What OS do you use? I'd guess Windows, considering that's the one our latest releases have been on. When you're a little more comfortable fiddling with the game, we (well, crovea if you're on Windows, since all my experience is on Linux) will help you get a development version set up (a fork on gitHub, learning some git, and getting it compiling), and you can start solving issues :D! | |

| Not too fast, I first have to understand: Lua, ogre and maybe Java. Although I plan on finishing all within 1,5 weeks. | |

| You'll only need to understand Ogre beforehand if you're writing c++, and Java we don't use at all, so I'm guessing it's part of your own learning plan. Java's definitely not a language you could learn to use effectively in a few days though, but I'd guess you already know that
I'm not gonna push you to be ready super-fast though -- if anything I'd prefer to put off getting the dev environment set up, since it can be a royal pain to get working. | |

| Sorry, mixed them up... :oops: Oh well, I already now a very small amount of C++ and I have a friend that knows it, so I will be alright in that. ;) | |

| Trust me, you won't. You'll be able to read the code, and understand, usually, what it's doing, but writing good C++ takes a lot of practice. I find it's much better to approach C++ with the assumption that you'll do things wrong, since there are many intricacies to it. But that's fine -- it's far more important to be able to read code than write it. | |

| Well, I guess I will have a few nasty surprises waiting then. But I will finish CSS and JS first because I'm pretty far with those. | |
