Game Development Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for professional and independent game developers. It's 100% free, no registration required.

I want to study the source code of a large project (for example, the Doom 3 source code) and I would like some help determining how I should navigate the code. How should I start reading it? Should I find a main() function and go on from there? Do you have any other tips that may help me?

This depends on what you're trying to accomplish by reading the code and I honestly think this is a better topic for Programmers.SE, it's not really game development related except for a reference to a specific codebase (which I'm going to edit to remove and then flag for migration). – Josh Petrie Jan 16 at 16:35
Ok, you can remove it I will post it at Programmers.se Sorry for the inconvenience – Dimitris Jan 16 at 16:39
You don't need to post it there, it will probably be migrated. – Josh Petrie Jan 16 at 16:40
