It is an awesome book. But technically you can get the source code from GameDev.net, since the originally CD''s had empty .zip files. All of the source is there, but I would really suggest buying the book if you want to understand how the code works.

And I don''t think you searched hard enough. They are plenty of open source engines out there (Ogre 3D and Eye.Scream, for example).

Well I could always release what little I have of mine, but I somehow think that might do more damage than good...

Been watching this thread, thought I would ask a question. What do you program in, and how much do you understand? I myself am only just working at writing my first game engine, so this is new for me. I am fairly proficient (sp?) with C++ so it is kinda starting to make sense.
