   Source Codes to Study...
  Where could I get source code for games(funcional) that I can study from?I know most are kept secret and everything but I''m sure there are some generous experienced programmers willing to help beginners...hopefully.(this is prolly a rediculous post but I wouldn''t mind having funcional code that I could learn from!) 
  ID Software has released the game source for Quake 3, or you can look at the Half-Life game source which is in the HL SDK.EDIT the Q1 and Q2 source code is also available from the ID Software webisite - www.idsoftware.com   [edited by - Spudder on August 2, 2003 4:41:57 PM];  The Duke Nukem 3D source code is also available (I think Quake 2 is just the engine, but Duke is the full source...)http://www.3drealms.com/index.shtmlSearch the 3D Realms site (I can't remember exactly where it is), but it's on there. --hellz   [edited by - hellz on August 2, 2003 5:45:08 PM];  Search for open source games on google. ;  thnx guys!!! - any word on newer game open source?btw: think Valve will release their new Source Engine in near future?

Highly unlikly but    The Half-Life SDK was released a year or so after Half-Life was; I'd imagine that's when they're releasing the SDK for HL2.By the way, the source code to games is released as SDKs and (usually) contains only the game source, NOT the engine source. This still gives you plenty to learn from, and still lets you create mods of the game if you so desire. Half-Life's is a good SDK to learn from; since it's modder-friendly I imagine it would be relatively easy to follow it (I don't have first hand experience with any other SDK, but I have heard that the source for id games is chaotic). Oh, and if you do pick the HL SDK, I highly recommend Wavelength as a good resource for HL editing info.
