Hey, 'sup. How much C++ experience do you have? How about Ruby? And what project(s) have/will you do/done?
Hey
I'm almost 20 now. Started to code for real almost 3 years ago, however I had a lot of other experiences involving programming in the past including writing some simple RGSS code for my RPG Maker XP games, using Gosu library (to create very simple games) and working on World of Warcraft emulators like Mangos and Trinity (at that time I was mostly working on databases using SQL because had no knowledge of C++).
Right now I think I have very solid basic understanding of what C++ is and how to work with it. There is still a lot that I don't know, especially with C++11 and C++14, but I'm trying to learn all the time to be better. 50% of my time was spent to write games using C++ and SFML library
http://www.sfml-dev.org/ which I really like and I'm far experienced with it. I even had occasion to work as a freelancer and teach someone from top to bottom how to write Ludo using SFML.
I have also tried to finish my many hobbyist projects along the way when I was learning programming, however long-term motivation is my biggest weakness and I only had few bigger projects which were playable for some kind definition of playable. For example I have managed to develop a very early version of a game called Stephen Hawking Pro Wheelchair which is a 2D race game where you drive wheelchair to defeat your opponents with Need for Speed and Fast&Furious style.
My knowledge of ruby is very slim, I have used it few times for fun and when I was looking to learn some scripting language, instead of Ruby I chose to learn Lua which is very handy with C++ and very efficient.
In the future I would love to focus on single project and finish it from start to end, not changing my mind ten times in between about what should I do. I hope to find someone here to create a little team and develop something together, using RPG Maker XP or any other nice tool.

I have quite some C++ experience under my belt so feel free to ask anything you want to know here .
Thanks, C++ is a very broad river and it's always nice to have someone with more experience
