Good luck OP, if you're going to spend $1,000 I'd recommend contracting a programmer rather than any sort of partnership, there are tons of websites with for hire freelance programmers

OP's post doesn't have enough detail to make any of these assumptions, not to mention it has nothing appealing to any potential hires

and $1000 won't buy a meaningful amount of work from a freelance progmrammer. I'd assume the money would be for stuff like art assets and business expenses.

If you looking for a partner you're better off finding someone local at a college or game jam or something. Keeping moral up is a major benefit to those relationships and it's a lot harder to let someone down when you know them in person. A Complementary skillset could also be more useful than two programmers, but I don't know what the game is.

I can keep blowing business advice out of my ass, but there isn't much to go on. A 1k budget could mean you're bootstrapping but this could also just be a hobby project, etc.
