    I used this line counter to count the lines in some of my projects (just game code- engine code NOT included), here are the results:

    Cosmo Bots / Water Bugs:
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Total number of lines: 15211
    Total number of lines of code: 12393
    Total number of empty lines: 2186
    Total number of comment lines: 604
    Total number of empty comment lines: 28
    --------------------------------------------------------


    Z-Ball:
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Total number of lines: 15943
    Total number of lines of code: 12828
    Total number of empty lines: 1950
    Total number of comment lines: 1060
    Total number of empty comment lines: 105
    --------------------------------------------------------


    Bugatron:
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Total number of lines: 13223
    Total number of lines of code: 10943
    Total number of empty lines: 1462
    Total number of comment lines: 744
    Total number of empty comment lines: 74
    --------------------------------------------------------


    Best Friends / Sponge Bob Obstacle Odyssey:
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Lines of Code: 7615
    Blank of Comment Lines: 1223
    Total Lines: 8388
    --------------------------------------------------------

    Since Best Friends was written in Blitz3D, I used the following code to count the lines:
    PHP:
    Graphics 520,340,16,2

    dir    .Dir=New Dir
    dir    \loc$=CurrentDir$()

    Print     "Counting lines..."
    While dir<>Null
    lis    =ReadDir(dir\loc$)
    If     Not lis Then RuntimeError "Failed to read the '"+dir\loc$+"' directory"
    filen$=NextFile(lis)
    While     filen$<>""
    If KeyHit(1) Then End
    Select FileType    (dir\loc$+filen$)
    Case     1 If Right$(filen$,3)=".bb"
    Size=Size+FileSize(dir\loc$+filen$)
    file=ReadFile(dir\loc$+filen$)
    While     Not Eof(file)
    txt$=ReadLine(file)
    If     txt$<>"" And Left$(txt$,1)<>";" Then Lines=Lines+1 Else Blanks=Blanks+1
    Wend
    CloseFile file
    EndIf
    Case     2 If filen$<>"." And filen$<>".."
    ndir.Dir=New Dir
    ndir    \loc$=dir\loc$+filen$+"\"
    EndIf
    End Select
    filen$=NextFile(lis)
    Wend
    CloseDir lis
    Delete dir
    dir.Dir=First Dir
    Wend

    Cls
    Locate 0,0
    Print "    Lines of code: "+Lines
    Print "    Blank or comment lines: "+Blanks
    Print "    ---"
    Print "    Total lines: "+(Lines+Blanks)
    Print:Print
    kb#=Float#(Size)/1024
    mb#=Float#(Size)/1048576
    Print "    Total file size: "+Size+" bytes ("+Left$(kb#,Len(kb#)-4)+" kb / "+Left$(mb#,Len(mb#)-4)+" mb)"
    Print:Print
    Print "    Press any key to close."
    FlushKeys
    WaitKey
    End

    Type Dir
    Field loc$
    End Type

    And this really shows that using out-of-the-box APIs and tools can really save time and effort. In my case, I could have done Atomixer in less than have the time. Trouble is, I'm never happy with ready made high-level APIs and would rather roll my own :)

    Cool!

    Here's mine; just the game code, none of the numerous little editors, tools and peripheral data-generating widgets I wrote along the way:

    I used cat *.cpp *.h |wc -l to count lines and cat *.cpp *.h | grep "^[ \t]*//" |sort |uniq |wc -l to count comment lines (non-repeated). My results :

    Game framework : 32137 total, 263 comments
    Betty's Beer Bar specific : 16496 total, 171 comments
    Wild West Wendy specific : 28497 total, 172 comments
    Current game : 11046 total, 95 comments

    This is C++ code only. It doesn't count build scripts, ad-hoc tools, and especially not animation definitions, which is practically a language (7521 lines in WWW), nor image metadata (8697 lines in WWW, not human-generated fortunately)

    My current game is 31,456 so far, I'd expect that to go up a few 1000 before finished. I'm using Blitz3D so it would be a lot more if I wasn't using that :D

    It has been awhile since I've checked (and don't have it handy on this comp) but I'm guessing I've got around 30k.

    Looking at the other stats above, I'm not feeling bad about my code being so bloated anymore. ;) Seriously though, interesting stuff. :)

    Turbo Sliders takes the lead :). It has been a hobby project for me for a long time and the game is already much bigger than it looks. Code is written in C, using SDL, no fancy high-level engines or libraries in use. Network support also adds lots of code (maybe roughly 30 % of the code is more or less network game related).

    Here are the C4 Engine stats as of October 23, 2005:

    Engine code makes up about 78% of the total -- game code and tool plugins make up the rest.
