as much as that would be amazing, pretty much no one releases their source code and i dont think its even possible to reverse engineer the binary data back into readable code
and even then most of the games would be in ASM language which is anything but a pleasure to code in or read
though as i said in a thread of mine at some point, something that would benefit the site a lot imo would be to use the VG resource to be a resource of people having worked on games
like each game would have its credits put onto the site, and each video game dev would have his own page listing basic info, link to portfolios or something and games he/she has been credited in, what kind of work was done, etc
oh, oops, doy, i should have been a lot more clear on that.
of course it'd all be user submitted - but imagine like, gamemaker snippets for jump heights, etc.
imagine like those cookbooks that tell you how to make big macs and KFC chicken right in your own kitchen. but like, of course not with the company's own beef and chicken stocks and garnishings from the actual restaurant, lol - just how you'd duplicate that in another fashion
...but with games and code.
