The above is an advertisement. It is also kind of suspicious, because the company or person selling this source code is not identified. There isn't even any sample code, to demonstrate its quality for evaulation, which makes me doubt whether there really is any code...

By the way, I certainly don't think looking at source of a game is the best way to learn programming -- I think it is much better to learn by by taking a class or reading a book on a language, while doing lots of experimentation and practice.
