Hi Kelly,
To be honest, in my opinion, source code is very scarce, few and far between
as far as audio games are concerned. The source code that generally is
available is coded in Visual Basic 6, most of that is either rather messy or
very simple and in my experience doesn't teach a lot of important concepts,
especially on major projects.
To give you an example, I have the VB6 source code to Danger City, Self
Destruct, Giftanum, Chopper Patrol, and of course my own games. However,
most of them games are demonstrating the same concepts, I.E. how to use
timers and simple sound panning. The really major ones that touch on more
important concepts like environments, sound panning based on the player's
position in relation to other characters and objects within the game world,
level mappings and AI's tend to be the more messy ones.
In my opinion the best resource for open source/example games are currently
those available on the BGT page and forums, and certainly if anybody needs
any BGT help I'm willing to help in whatever ways I can.
Regards,
Damien.

Hi Tiffany,
I agree with Dark. I think it's best to learn and experiment with a
programming language, or anything for that matter, before starting to work
on a major project. For a long time now, I've been interested in writing
text adventure games (just for myself), but it took awhile before I found
a language I liked to code in. With that in mind, I also think it's always
good to look at as much source code as possible to see how an author
programs something in a certain way.
Hope this helps.
Yours Sincerely,
Kelly John Sapergia
