Can anybody tell me where I could find good examples of well formed C++ code. I have just finished college in programming and am looking to learn more complex code.
My problem is whenever I try to find examples of the things I want to learn alot of the code is hard to read and needlessly complex. Is there a good site out there that I could refer too. If ifs and ands
were pots and pans
where would the tinkers be
 
Hey pasammon, One thing I enjoyed going through was the source code for quake3. What is available is not terribly complex, but atleast it is professional. I went through it to try and give myself an idea of what a company might expect. The name of the installer for the source code is q3agamesource_116n.exe you might be able to get it from ftp.idsoftware.com They have also had many point releases since then, so it might be interesting to look through them all and see how they document changes or whatnot.
 
Good on you! I like your attitude!
Anything from the Quake people is worth looking at anyway, but I personally have a strong aversion to people who like C++ to look like something that's been through an enigma machine. It may be possible, given the right twisted imagination, to write a complete chess engine in 10 lines of 300 characters, but is it really all that constructive?!
