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.
