Progammers are just as varied as the rest of society, and I've met some AMAZING programmers (1000s of lines of OO code, correct the FIRST time) who hated programming unless they had to. Likewise, I've met horrible programmers who'd jump on any chance to practice.

However, it strikes me that perhaps you're not communicating the why when you ask if someone would like to help? You're doing it for some sort of intrinsic motivation it seems, one that you can't expect anyone else to truly appreciate. Do you foresee these products making money? Being used by a lot of people? What is your goal? Unfortunately, if it's just to screw around with some new ideas, its unlikely you'll get anyone else truly motivated to help you out when they could easily be masturbating or playing video games or anything else that THEY enjoy. Don't be me wrong, there ARE people out there who enjoy hobby programming.. but they're probably out on sites like sourceforce. You could consider making it open-source and posting it on SourceForge? As long as it has a goal, you might get lots of help.

That's my 2 cents.. now I'm off to go do some annoying OpenGL project for my graphics class
