Developer looking for a freeware game project

Hi everyone,
at first I like to give you a short introduction of myself. I am 23 years old, living in germany being a trainee as software developer. Currently I am looking for a freeware and/or open source game project to join. I'm used to object orientated programming and also have some basic knowledge of game development. In the recent weeks I started to learn how to use OpenGL ES on android devices.
Important:
- Do not reply with something like: "Please code game XYZ for me!!!"
- If you know a good place where non-profit android game developers are searched/found please tell me This would be a great help too.
Even if I may me able to do the coding part all on my own, but I still lack some skills on modeling, texturing and especially the music/sound stuff.
So what I am looking for is mainly a team of non-profit (donation based is absolutely okay) developers that is lokking for an programmer for some game.
This will be a hobby project (what does not mean it shouldn't result in a good game) so I will mainly be available for coding on the weekends.
The type of game does not matter that much to me, anyway it should not be some clone of another android game. There's so many types of games that are completely missing on android devices (on others too of course) that it shouldn't be that hard to choose something "new".
What came to my mind at first were some portal-like game with a built in level editor. The levels created by that should be shareable over internet so everyone can extend the game by new content. This way you could share your own (or good ones of other's) levels with your friends that should keep the fun with that game for some time.
Another great project would be something nearly fitting a request I saw here in the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077132). Its about some "Minigame-API" that should be containg some models (units/"monsters"/buildings), level textures and an interface to script own gameplay mechanics. Mainly something like the Stacraft / Warcraft III / Stracraft II level editor reduced to the basic stuff needed to create own funmaps. There will need to be some basic engine for a RTS game, but regarding story/techtree's/balacing/etc. there will be nothing to do so far. The Editor itself should be a java programm (cross-platform) thats interface is like/near the Warcraft III Level Editor. (Kind of easy to use but very powerful if you master it )
Both of those crazy ideas would require a lot of time and/or people to work on it so I of course also would like to help on some less advanced project. Anyway I do not want to create the 50th tetris clone.

I know this is kinda in the area of "Please code game XYZ for me", but as i stated in the post. I can do all the graphics etc. I've also spent some time learning java this past month, so i got some knowledge..

If you can supply more than just an idea to the project its absolutely okay I will have a look at it.
Edit: Sorry but this kind of game isn't what I am looking for, it's just too simple to give me the challenge I want. Maybe I will contact you if I don't find any other project within the next few days. (Better coding a really simple game than to twiddle thumbs )

The idea and the type of game can be decided by the developer itself; pleads not there a request for a specific type of game you can decide both the type and the like articulate it (and most of the times it will be so unless me which are the CEO or a hypothetical delegated to project is an idea for a game could also be that you may be required to make that kind of game), if you want to be part of Capas game for Ouya send me a PM and maybe we'll talk better

Thanks, it work for me.

Hey people.First time poster here. I just released my first game ever on android!
It took about a week and a half to make . It's a very simple concept , but the game is quite difficult.
It has Facebook sharing, Google Play Achievements and Leaderboards.
Give it a whirl and let me know what you think!

New Developer

Hey all,
I'm quite new to the Android development, but I have about a half a year of Java experience. I've been reading "Java Programming for Android Developers For Dummies" by Barry Burd, but I'm completely lost.
I need to make an Android app for school, so I just want to make a simple Tetris clone. Any help that anyone has would be very much appreciated!

First application
I would start with some easy application and after try to create something like tetris. For game you will need some framework not just Java and Android.

Yeah, something like http://libgdx.badlogicgames.com

For learning android i suggest u take a look at the new boston tutorial series. For games, Beginning android 4 games is a very good read. It explains game development fundamentals in detail.

Super Wilmer
I'd suggest using libGDX as well, I'm starting to port our game Super Wilmer to it, the reason you want to go with a framework like this is so that you can port to other platforms, like iOS for example. They have a lot of good support material and getting started tutorials.
Here is the documentation to get you started...

First Game , appreciate any feedback

Hi
Early this month i launch my first game Pet Trio play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=broken.studio.pettrio
or search for pettrio on google play.
youtube.com/watch?v=XRZrCQE9qJE
Physics puzzle like The Incredible Machine ,Bubble Ball or Amazing Alex(Casey's Contraptions) but weird
I was clueless about marketing and haven't seen any download except from the 4 device from my family which i got them to beta test and help me improve the game.
Is it a must to have fb and google+ , because some big game don't seem to have eg Flappy Bird.
I made a twitter account but have no idea how to use it to promote my app.
I really appreciate any feedback own how i can improve
Also I realize the UI could have been better and i did make some changes before launch, maybe for next project I will use the google material ui
Thanks for your time and consideration any feedback is appreciated.
