Can we check the source code of another game?

I am a new BGA developer. I am specialized on web applications, so it's not a huge issue for me to get into BGA Studio and create a board game digital implementation. Yet if would be a lot easier if I could look into some other game's code. And I don't mean those 3 default games which come with every account. How can I check the code of any other game I choose? It would greatly increase the speed of development for me personally.

On studio, go to "Studio projects" and then [Get readonly access] on project you want to see. It now appears on your FTP folder.

Thanks for the tip, I've found it. The funny part is that the game I was looking for doesn't have "Get readonly access" link. Guess, I'll just choose another one.

Some developers also publish the source code on GitHub, you can find links to those projects here:

And some old games don't have access but you can ask admins to give it to you if you really need to see one in particular
