How can a student participate in the IT field?

Question

IT education

Good afternoon. I am a student who got interested in programming. For 5 whole years (now I'm 13). Initially, I started programming with one goal - games. After, I went through a bunch of programming languages, engines and frameworks. After a bit of insolence, I realized that I could already participate in serious projects in the field of game development. But I can’t find a vacancy or a team of like-minded enthusiasts anywhere (and even if I find it, it’s unlikely that I will be successful). My friends are not interested in gamedev. If there are knowledgeable people among you, please suggest some sites where they are looking for people for various projects or give advice on where to develop further.

Answer 3

After a bit of insolence, I realized that I could already participate in serious projects in the field of game development.

How did you come to this realization? Do you have finished projects?
In my opinion, you should start with your project and try to bring it to a working state.
there are many sites, it is quite easy to find them in google.

Answer 4

Show me the code and I'll tell you who you are. All that you described does not show absolutely your level.
And on a subject, you can try to search on sites like a cyberforum, they constantly offer to work for food or even for free, but with the hope of a percentage of the project. Just keep in mind that you won’t get a percentage with a probability of 99% and it’s not a fact that there will be people much more experienced than you. You can also try to write in a game studio and ask to work for food and study.

At 13?
At the age of 13, it’s good if you have a rough understanding of the OOP paradigm, and here you are throwing spells. First, calm down and use your favorite language to write "sea battle" with a graphical interface, otherwise I won't believe in the seriousness of words and intentions)
