Hi everyone! :waving_hand:

My name is LexarVSE, I’m 13 years old, and I’ve been programming since I was 10. :technologist: I absolutely love building complex systems, simulations, and figuring out how things work under the hood. Thrive caught my attention because it’s not just a game – it’s a scientific model of evolution, and that’s awesome! :globe_showing_europe_africa::dna:

My programming experience so far: :laptop:

Godot (GDScript): I’m working on my own 2D game with conveyor belts, resource management, and building mechanics – it’s like a mini-Factorio! :building_construction: A few months ago I also started making my own evolution game called VSE, and I’ve tried to create an infinite alchemy game too. I also use Godot for prototyping new ideas. :video_game:

C++: I built a voxel engine from scratch with OpenGL, instancing, and memory optimization (bit masks!). :high_voltage: That was a great learning experience in low-level graphics and performance.

Lua: I created a procedural biome generator for Roblox with 45 biomes, climate simulation, and Perlin noise – all generated in real time! :herb::globe_showing_americas:

PHP, JavaScript, CSS, HTML: I’ve built my own websites from scratch. :globe_with_meridians:

Servers & DevOps: I’ve set up servers with Docker, Nginx, and worked on both frontend and backend development. :desktop_computer: I even played around with ESP-32 for augmented reality glasses – just for fun! :sunglasses:

What I love besides coding: :heart:

Geography & maps :world_map:: Since childhood, I’ve been obsessed with maps – I used to study atlases for hours and plan imaginary journeys. I recently found a Soviet atlas from 1983 – it’s a treasure trove of data! :open_book:

Music :musical_note:: I play the accordion (yes, really! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:). I’m still learning, but I enjoy it a lot. Maybe one day I’ll try to compose something for Thrive – who knows? :wink:

Philosophy & worldbuilding :scroll:: I have my own philosophical framework called “The Codex of VSE” – it’s about freedom, choice, and the nature of reality. :thinking::sparkles:

Why Thrive? :light_bulb:

Thrive is the perfect blend of science, creativity, and programming. Simulating evolution from a single cell to a spacefaring civilization is exactly the kind of ambitious project that inspires me! :milky_way: I want to help the project – fixing bugs, improving performance, and working on game mechanics. I’m ready to start small and learn together with all of you. :handshake:

I’m truly excited to be part of this community! :tada: If you have any suggestions on where I can be most helpful, please let me know! :folded_hands:

Thanks for having me,

LexarVSE :rocket::fire:
