Is asking for code review here in bad taste?

[lazershark3k]

Hey, I'm working on a game, and I was thinking it would be nice to have some extra eyeballs on it. Would it be ok to ask for a review here? If this isn't the best spot, do you have any recommendations? thx m8s

I'd say it depends on how much code you want looked at. If there's specific sections or issues you want looked at I'm sure people here would be willing to help, but asking to look over all of your code is probably a little too much for most.

Some kind of this forums people do review tiny pieces of code constantly.

I have eons of mah Zabuyaki code. I'd like to ask people review it ))) but... it looks like an impossible task.
Pay people and get your code reviewed.

And here is another solution:
Make your game open source. Let people in.

Well, that goes without saying. But as DekuJuice said, you should ask reviewers to focus on a specific part, or no one will do it.

Thanks, mates. I appreciate the perspective

I privately asked two experienced forum members for a review of ~200 LOC, and was pleasantly surprised by their willingness to help. They provided mostly suggestions to improve performance, semantics and style. Some bugs were missed by them, but that's understandable - a thorough code review takes time and very few are willing to 'waste' their time just as a favor for some schmuck on the Internet. In my case their feedback was nevertheless valuable and helped me improve code quality.

If the code is not too large and convoluted, I'm willing to do quick reviews and give general advice when I have time, just shoot me a PM.
