The scripts are contained in our Scripts Vault, for which you'll need 100 posts to access.
The scripts are complete games that you can use as a whole, and simply run immediately. You'll then simply have a clone of another game. Otherwise, you can use the scripts to learn how to create a game, or modify the script so it becomes unique in its own way.
There's lots of things to do with game scripts, and many versions you can end up with.
