ITT we post examples of well-written open source codebases to learn or draw inspiration from. Please restrict your suggestions to codebases that you have actually spent some time reading.
I'm fond of reading bits of the earlier, C-based idTech engines, and they're often held up by others in the blogosphere as an example of good C, so they'll be what I'm recommending.

This guy has written some pretty detailed code reviews of the engines that serve as excellent high-level introductions before you start peeking in the source, if you'd like to study the techniques used by the engines themselves and not just the structure of their code.

I'm interested in seeing some recommendations for dynamic languages like Lua. My idea of how to properly structure a program is limited to idiomatic C at the moment, which makes writing Lua programs feel somewhat awkward to me.
